This looks cool! Good work on shipping it!<p>So I tried to click new map and drag n drop a few shapes from the toolbox into the map, but my mouse did not indicate that the map canvas was a place where I could drop the SVG icons.<p>So I tried to double click an icon, thinking perhaps I needed to have it be dropped on the map, then I could drag it around. That pinned the icon to the top left, but did not put it on the map.<p>So. I think this is cool, I played around with it for a bit, I&#x27;m too lazy to keep trying it, but the tool appears functional enough, pretty enough, and a great concept not used as much in online tilemap editors, so again, great job shipping!

Hi HN, presenting Laberinto, a tile map editor tailored for BSicon tiles, widely embraced in railway, metro, and public transportation maps—commonly found on Wikipedia, especially on the German Wikipedia.<p>Laberinto integrates seamlessly with BSicons, a set of standardized SVG icons initially designed for railway diagrams and now extending to canals, footpaths, and motorways.<p>Laberinto offers an alternative approach to creating high-quality maps compared to traditional methods on Wikipedia, which involve using templates.<p>Laberinto enables easy embedding of maps in HTML pages, expanding their utility beyond Wikipedia&#x27;s platform.<p>After crafting your map, download a complete HTML page, including icons and CSS, for your own use.<p>In the Works:<p>Full Icon Library Access: Access over 300,000 Wikipedia BSicon categories, with Laberinto&#x27;s current catalog covering approximately 40,000 icons.<p>Drawing Tool: Sketching continuous lines and curves.<p>Dive in and experiment with Laberinto. If you make something interesting, share it—I&#x27;d love to see your creation!<p>Feedback Welcome: Whether it&#x27;s a suggestion, bug report, or collaboration proposal, drop me a note.
