Neat! This is known as a stabilizer in the digital art community.

This a very nice web implementation of a feature that exists since probably forever in most graphics software.
I don't think I've ever seen this feature ever before (keeping in mind that the purpose of the tool is to draw smooth lines, and there would probably be another tool for drawing signatures). It's quite brilliant!
Lazy Nezumi has been around since 2009. Stabilisers,etc. are a lot more prominent in the digital art community.

#33Really cool!
I wonder what Duo Lingo are using behind the scenes. I've been busy with the Chinese and Japanese courses, and one thing I quickly noticed is how there are two different 'grades' of practising drawing hanzi/kana: when you first learn how to write it (with your finger, in the app) it constrains your movements so they perfectly follow the guidelines. But then later, it relaxes the constraints totally, or almost totally, so your hiragana can really be a shorthand squiggle. They then assess it quite liberally too, so as long as the general gist is correct, your kana will pass -- but it's also easy to fail it if you're just guessing.

#34I think this is the same as the brush stabilizer in Krita.
And Affinity tools.

#40I think it would be much better to use some kind of Kalman filtering so you don't have the huge lag. You don't need to commit to permanent output immediately so it is possible to draw with zero lag and then smooth the output afterwards.
