Perfect Freehand – Draw perfect pressure-sensitive freehand lines
perfectfreehand.comThis is by Steve Ruiz of https://tldraw.com, in case anyone noticed the similarity between the two.
Explanation of what this does:

I remember in the mid 2000s how some Xara Designer illustration software was able to do that, I don't know how isn't a more common thing (or maybe I don't know enough specialized software in that matter).
I remember well that program because it was available both for Windows and Linux, a really rare thing in that time.
I still refuse to use anything but Xara designer, and have made my children play with it.
I was using this recently and found some situations where I didn't like the way the lines looked. Reading through the github comments from the author, it sounds like an improved version of this library is maintained within the tldraw codebase.
This one is better then previous posted earlier today, in that one I had trouble writing "B" without pointy tips.
This is actually handy I was intending to try and make some logos, and I only mouse...
EDIT: However, I'm finding even with permissions a lot of these don't work to save to SVG...
Hmm I would need to fork it and fix it... maybe Inkscape is really the best option
Use tldraw. Steve rolled the perfect freehand library into tldraw and the tldraw implementation has been improved since then IIRC. So you can get the same experience and easily grab an SVG.
I remember caring about this when it was just a branch. Demonstrating this is possible on the web is pretty cool!
Great work Steve!!
