I've not done anything special here, just wrapped the community edition of ISOFLOW https://github.com/markmanx/isoflow and made it dead easy to set up and run. You can now export and load JSON backups of your diagrams allowing you to essentially have as many as you want, which the community version of ISOFLOW restricts. Enjoy!

I'm not very familiar with Node.js. Any idea where in isoflow's code are the graphics for those 3D-style icons? Are they SVG or what? Is it possible to add custom icons?

I was curious also. The SVGs for the isoflow library of icons is in node_modules/@isoflow/isopacks/dist/isopacks.md

(yes, svg within base64 within markdown)

Thank you for the parenthetical there. When I read your first line I thought, "surely they didn't.."

They did.

Curious what's the argument for/against that here. I agree it's at least unusual.

I don't have any good argument in either direction, if I'm being honest. Just feels.. weird.
