Isochronic Passage Chart for Travellers

Ethan Mollick

the distance you can travel in a given length of time

maker’s words

I decided to try it on Fable using Claude Code with this prompt:

i want you to build a fully researched and beautiful isochronic map that lets me pick various cities and see real isochronic lines based on real data. I want the design to be unique. You should take into account airports (and travel time to and from airports) trains, walking, driving. The data does not need to be live but should be real based on your research and data. You can start with a few cities but more general is better, this should be an entirely new project.
