What is Rough.js?
The Rough.js library offers a unique canvas-based solution for creating graphics with a hand-drawn, sketchy aesthetic.

The library provides a comprehensive set of primitives, including lines, curves, arcs, polygons, circles, and ellipses, as well as the ability to render SVG paths. This versatility empowers designers, artists, and developers to craft a wide range of expressive, hand-crafted-inspired graphics, from illustrations and infographics to user interface elements and interactive visualizations. Whether aiming to convey a sense of authenticity, add character to a design, or simply explore a more distinctive aesthetic, the Rough.js library offers a compelling solution for those seeking to inject a touch of human touch into their digital creations
