This is amazing. Thank you! The world needs more isometric diagrams (since they're able to communicate more with no perspective diminishing). To my mind, a lot more product/service discovery could use isometric diagrams in their landing pages. In addition, visualizing app/page navigation and funnels. I really think it's untapped. I've tried to cobble together my understanding of isometric design over the years from different skillshare or lynda tutorials. I've tried Maya and other modeling applications to create more detailed models. And gone back to using the SSR approach (using Illustrator - though as an engineer I still have so far to go there - great skillshare courses by Daniel Scott). Gotten into Sarah Drasner's great design for developer courses. (Making and Breaking the Grid mentioned there is a great book.) Recently via https://medium.com/@PepsRyuu/why-i-no-longer-use-d3-js-b8288... and a desire to use the minimum tools necessary to get the job done, I'm totally aligned in taking a more css only approach (eschewing SVG for the reasons mentioned in that article - particularly text wrapping).

A long way of saying this is really interesting. Thanks!


(For posterity: and.. back to SVG. Shirley Wu's d3 courses are great!)



One of my first personal projects was to try to produce an isometric 2d game in javascript, I failed spectacularly but learned a lot. Thank you for not just a really cool library but reminding me of that childhood trial!


Oh, this is fun!! I've had a game idea bouncing around in my head, this could be quite useful. Thank you for sharing.


Your CSS/Sass skills are indeed gold!

My next game will be using this.


Thanks :) Do not hesitate to make a pull request to add your game in "Your Projects" at the bottom of the documentation https://morgancaron.github.io/IsometricSass/


Wow time to uninstall photoshop.
