A free/open tool for making XKCD-style "hand-drawn" charts

It is weird in that the interactive hover portions work in safari, but not the other chart areas.

Still not that greatly documented, but github can easily show the source to figure out some of the ins and outs. I do a lot of data analysis, and I’d been looking for something simple like this because everything is so smooth and polished that folks just ignore the charts. With this, it kinda fits right in with the text and you are drawn to it. I sent a note to my staff and used this in an informal message and I git three responses immediately! I wish I could format the axises and set min and max as well as data type (percentage) but I think I can hack that stuff in.
