I’m using this in a scientific drawing tool that I put together - it was remarkably easy to integrate, and the sketch aesthetic is great for presentations or when you wish to convey uncertainty.

I’m still hanging out for a browser implementation of Fiziko (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21651240) though, which would be a whole other cool aesthetic.

There is some code [0] for generation of coastal lines in cartographic maps (text in french, code in JavaScript). It's kind of similar.

The blog post [1] about fiziko describes how it calculates parallel bezier curves using line intersection and curves of varying thinkness. The code about the coastal lines also uses a similar technique and describes how to get the result step by step.
