To some people Isotope would look very similar to the work you had previously done with Masonry; can you explain the main differences between the two?
Isotope has several features that Masonry lacks. Masonry essentially does one thing, placing item elements in a cascading arrangement. Isotope has Masonry’s layout logic built in, but in addition, it also has several other layout modes that can be used to dynamically position elements. You can even develop your own custom layout mode.
As I’ve mentioned, it has filtering and sorting functionality built in. Filtering items is as easy as passing in a jQuery selector:
Isotope takes advantage of the best browser features out there. Instead of using typical left/top styles positioning, Isotope takes a progressive enhancement approach and uses CSS transforms if supported by the browser. This provides for top-notch performance for top-notch browsers. With hardware acceleration kicking in, animations look silky smooth on WebKit browsers, and even less-powerful devices using iOS. CSS transforms perform better with CSS transitions, which I’ll discuss later.
Another difference is license as @AminAriana pointed out. Masonry is under the MIT license, but Isotope is only free for personal use.
PrimosK pretty much answared you question, but I just wanted to chime in ...
Isotope is an awesome jQuery plugin. I've successfully used it on multiple sites.
One of the things I like most about Isotope is how customizable it is. It's well documented and it can do almost anything you can think of like extending it with infinite scroll and use custom layout modes.

另一个区别是许可，正如@AminAriana 指出的那样。 Masonry 遵循MIT 许可，但Isotope 仅免费供个人使用。

PrimosK 几乎回答了你的问题，但我只是想插话......
Isotope 是一个很棒的 jQuery 插件。我已经在多个网站上成功使用了它。
我最喜欢同位素的事情之一是它的可定制性。它有很好的文档记录，几乎可以做任何您能想到的事情，例如通过无限滚动扩展它并使用自定义布局模式。
