Actually, it looks like Excalidraw[1] to me. The shading and line style match very closely.

I don't know what program the author used, but I'd be surprised if he did them by hand. Excalidraw (https://excalidraw.com/) will give a very similar feel.

In a similar style, but with WebGL: https://www.shadertoy.com

Another similar tool with the same source of inspiration (both are pretty cool):

Thank you!

I used Excalidraw (https://excalidraw.com), and I highly recommend it! It gives me 'xkcd' vibes.

Check out https://excalidraw.com/

I think it's more refined than Tldraw.

http://shaderfrog.com/ is cool too, neat to visualize it right in the browser

The patterns remind me of MacPaint.

It kinda looks like a cartoon version of Microsoft Photosynth? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynth

I wonder if they used Monodraw[1] to create their diagrams?

Looks like they did!

Maybe Inkscape? http://inkscape.org/

It's libjpeg. http://libjpeg.sourceforge.net/

The interactive rendering is super cool and fits his area of expertise. The underlying library appears to be PixiJS [1].

Does anyone have enough expertise to tell me in which program this was made?

I actually have seen some artists use this aesthetics, but on the top of my head I can only think of Vulfpeck's site [0]

Looks like protovis, unless they are using different tools for each graphic. http://mbostock.github.com/protovis/ex/pack.html
