Abstract
Gladiat✶r is an alternative Are.na client; a work in progress. – The goal of this project is to create a better user interface with more efficient and advanced functionalities for making the job of managing your channels less cumbersome.
Background
The official Are.na website is deliberately minimalistic, but it lacks some features that would make it more usable for power users. Especially keeping an overview of a large number of channels and seeing in what ways they are interconnected is difficult. Once a graph has grown organically to a certain size, it is hard to make changes to its structure. Cleaning up and reorganizing channels becomes very tedious.
