Hey, thanks for sharing. It looks neat! Here's some (unstructured, rushed) feedback:
Consider adding some PWA metadata (manifest) so there's a bit more space when the app is added to the home screen.
Are you using perfect-freehand? If so, you might wanna give Steve Ruiz a shoutout!
The latency is not bad (iOS Safari) to be fair. I'd check how this works with the Apple Pencil though (including the additional APIs and pen properties it opens)
I have giant fingers, so this is nice for doodles, but writing gets frustrating. a basic zoom would fix that (problem: keeping the UI non obtrusive).
Consider adding colour (even a pre-defined palette to keep this super simple, say 3-4 colours). I got some fun creations from people who played with a similar project (https://lines.potato.horse), largely because they had just the right amount of creative control.
Very cool, though it doesn't seem to work on Firefox on Android - I had to use Chrome to get it to work. Dunno what API it's using, but worth mentioning.
If you could increase the size of the drawing window, to be almost as large as the browser and add more basic colors for drawing, I can see it being very useful.
Yes I think colors would be great, while still keeping the UI minimal. Another comment brought it up along with audio feedback for strokes which feels like it would be a nice experience.

Also, consider adding an OLED-friendly colour scheme (with perfect blacks #000). Some inspiration: https://untested.sonnet.io/notes/night-rider/ and https://untested.sonnet.io/notes/dark-mode-articles/
(100% yak shave here, so not important) but: I'd check if the note content could be shared with the link (e.g. via data URIs) (mostly for fun)
Ah, finally, make it plomk like mmm.page or potato.horse (disable silent mode and click on the nav)! THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT
this is amazing feedback, thank you for taking the time to write it all out. I love the idea of audio feedback!
Seems like a glaring omission to mention Cloudflare D1 and... SVG, but not the guy who did the drawing part of your drawing app
Let's see how this evolves

I accidentally linked to a specific note at the top which I guess Cloudflare is struggling to preview due to traffic.
