An alternative that works very well for signatures too is Perfect Freehand (by the guy behind TLDRaw) https://perfect-freehand-example.vercel.app/

Is it allowed to modify the signature someone puts digitally on a document? Because that's what this does. Is that not an issue?

I feel like if you're modifying the signature after they sign it and approve it - that could be a problem. As long as the modifications are applied in real-time (or with explicit user confirmation after modification), I think it is morally okay (and probably legally, but I'm not a lawyer).

You may find users who get mad if your settings are too aggressive though, and if they're unable to get a signature that they approve of.

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!

Photoshop has had it for quite a while now. It's titled brush smoothing

Wow, this is amazing! I see you've been building this on GitHub for 7 years - that's truly impressive dedication. What keeps you motivated to stick with this product for so long?

Not to speak for OP, and this library is very cool, but: It’s ~20 commits done in two batches. 2018 for the initial release then some more work on it in 2023. Zastai: you could have that kind of progress on any lib you wish to release, and it’s a nice feeling to have something out in the wild.

That's a comment by an LLM, I'm afraid :)
