Good for full screen ambient displays, or just staring into the void. An are.na API toy by Kim Plowright, with a h/t to Tom Scott and Dan Williams. Found a bug? Let me know on GitHub.

Search are.na blocks by keyword — fetches matching images and texts, pooled with your channels above. Requires an access token (v3 API). Leave blank to pull recent public blocks.
Add a link to a SoundCloud playlist, a direct link to an MP3/OGG, or use a local MP3 file.
Get yours at are.na → Settings → Developers. Read-only access is fine.
Channel content is cached locally for 24 hours so you won't hammer the API. Clear cache to force a fresh fetch.
