end)- To launch from your shell, add the following to your
~/.zshrcor~/.bashrcfile:

A dictionary of the channels that are currently being used can be found at the top of lib/arena.py
Note that since the are.na api is paginated, the dictionary of channels is weighted by the number of pages in the channel. Channels with the most pages are more likely to be selected.
Get served a random link from Top Stories, Best Stories, or New Stories. Additional parameters and configuration might be added in the future.
