What is Rough.js?

Rough.js is an open-source JavaScript library that allows you to create sketchy/hand-drawn styled vectors and lines in the browser. It uses an algorithm to generate shapes with rough, scratchy edges to make them look hand-drawn.

Some key features of Rough.js include:

• Lightweight - only about 13kB minified and gzipped
• Draws sketchy/hand-drawn lines, circles, rectangles, polygons, curves, SVG paths, and texts
• Highly customizable - control roughness, bowing, stroke width, fill style, opacity and more
• Animatable elements
• Runs on both Canvas and SVG
• React and Vue integrations available
• TypeScript support
• MIT license

Rough.js is great for adding hand-drawn elements to web applications, such as maps, diagrams, illustrations, and data visualizations. It's a simple way to give elements a natural, imperfect, hand-drawn look. Many find the resulting aesthetics more inviting, fun, and relaxing compared to sterile computer graphics.

It works in all modern browsers and has no dependencies. The small size and focused scope makes Rough.js easy to integrate into web projects to add sketchy styles.
