Rough.js had worked that out years ago. It draws hand drawn shapes in the browser, and reading how it does it is what stopped me treating the effect as something you need an illustrator for. Bow the straight lines a little, move the endpoints around, and an eye reads that as a hand.

cfrs
An extremely minimal drawing language consisting of only 6 simple commands: C, F, R, S, [, and ].
A few years ago, I wrote an esoteric, minimalistic turtle graphics language called CFRS[]: <https://susam.net/cfrs.html>.
This was an exercise in making a turtle graphics language that is as minimal as possible. It is closer to Brainfsck than JavaScript and it is not Turing complete, by design.
To see some demos, go to <https://susam.github.io/cfrs/demo.html>.

Project mention: Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (December 2025) | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-12-14
I'm working on an experimental display server, for educational purposes and fun:
https://terminal.pink/bgce/index.html
Or https://github.com/blmayer/bgce
The idea is to have the minimum needed for a usable graphical experience. So drawing to drm buffer and handling inputs basically. It's been fun to do.
I am build a toolkit for it too:
https://terminal.pink/bgtk/index.html
Or https://github.com/blmayer/bgtk
I think it is nice that we can just write to a buffer and it appears on the screen. Very little abstraction is needed. Hope you like it.
I also made some progress on my hardware projects, but I'll keep a low profile for now.
