This is clearly a nice idea. But I can't believe the author looked at the "demo" image of their vibecoded creation and thought "ship it, good enough". You can't even read the third button!
I don't necessarily care about AI use in projects, but it is somewhat ironic seeing a UI library imitating "hand-drawn" elements which is itself made entirely (I assume, reading the readme and commits) using AI.
Regardless of what the other commenters are saying, I really like this. It looks cute and neat, and is the kind of stuff that I like to occasionally see on HN.
Might be a good set of components for a simple no nonsense scratchpad webpage or something similar.
Those feel very ink-blobby - like they were drawn by someone who can barely hold a pen stick-stopping across each line and then redoing parts of each line to correct mistakes. Looks elementary schooler.
I prefer Excalidraw look and feel - a couple of smooth and mostly straight lines per line, which looks more like intentional competence with a quick and imperfect tool.
This reminds me of d2lang's sketch mode[0], which I really like. Amazing if you want to publish a diagram for comment but have it not look so official someone can steal it and promise it to a customer with your name attached. Naming no names.
Is this just the same tired old SVG turbulence filter people have been using since forever?
Why would I introduce a "left-pad"-like dependency into my UI? I don't want to depend on these half-assed implementations of UI elements. I want my own or those of a better library and to merely have the sketchy style.

There are countless good examples to tap into, say:

I've seen many hand drawn effect css libraries but what I like about this one is that each control has its own unique stroke. Pretty neat

lol. I was kinda excited to use it for AI-generated wireframes but this is such a turn off.
