+# problems
+
+I encountered many issues while getting this project working, here is a list.
+
+## Rendering
+
+- The SVGs initially were drawn, exported and then refined into a React-friendly component.
+  - Getting them to scale and look good at different sizes, and reduce static whitespace within the SVG.
+  - Antialiasing causing gaps between the path shapes.
+  - Rendering text in an isometric form on top of the box.
+  - Getting the box to translate on hover without glitching, while maintaining a non-pointer gap between boxes.
+  - Placing text underneath the box in the right position.
