Odd that so many commenters see to be declaring proudly or ruefully that their handwriting is bad, and ‘no one wants it’ or ‘the world doesn’t need to see it’ or similar…

It’s your handwriting, why be so judgemental after all?

This works mostly for the US, where people don't write in cursive.

People write in cursive all the time. You mainly sign in cursive.

Kids are being taught cursive again. Texas has been doing it again for awhile.

No idea why they stopped teaching it for a few years, kind of messed those kids up.

How do people have a signature if they don't know cursive?

Do they just print it twice lol?

I agree with your statement, and cursive has extra benefits like leading to better hand strength and so on but outside of that, signatures aren't a good counter argument.

Signatures aren't cursive, they're a curated, custom art piece.

Arguably even signatures are being replaced with digital agreements. Just click "I Agree [and we'll use other proof than the squiggly that it was you because your digital squiggly is uselessly different every time]".

What about tildes, accents, cedilles?

The idea is cool, but, well:

Your post makes it sound like you consider this a bad thing?

I don’t see the downside here.

If you don’t believe it, maybe disconnect from network before dropping the file?

Are you implying that the lack of data harvesting is a disadvantage?

It not a disadvantage but a rare trait nowadays.

well makes sense if JavaScript is run 100% locally.

Browser can be treated as loader of code to be executed only locally with Local only data.

i hate js, but it's doable
