FAQPage Schema
How do I export Are.na blocks to a local archive for offline access?

To export Are.na blocks locally, you can run an incremental export process that downloads block data and optional images to build an offline gallery. This handles per-channel backfills to ensure your local archive stays synchronized.

Can I use vision AI to automatically tag and describe my Are.na images?

Yes, you can use Gemini Vision AI to enrich Are.na blocks by automatically generating descriptive titles, context, tags, and UI pattern signals. This adds a vision object to each block to support faster visual discovery.

Do I need an Are.na API key to back up my channels locally?

Yes, you need Are.na API access to perform incremental exports and per-channel backfills. The export workflow requires this access to authenticate and download your block data and images to your local environment.

What is the best way to search and browse exported Are.na blocks without a browser?

The best way to browse exported Are.na blocks is by generating browsable HTML views from your terminal. This creates visual search results that allow you to quickly review blocks and UI patterns locally without leaving your CLI workflow.

How do I identify UI patterns from Are.na blocks using AI?

You can identify UI patterns by running vision AI enrichment on your exported Are.na blocks. This process analyzes images and adds specific UI pattern signals to the block metadata, streamlining design discovery and research.
