Jamboard doesn't do this, but it's close.

The Jamboard app also works on phones so other people can fairly easily join

whiteboard apps focus way too much on fancy new widgets and shapes and text
and whatever and not enough on getting out of the way.

collaboration on it for fun (even a complete rewrite, I'm not a fan of
EmberJS. I explored EmberJS with it). I'm currently noticing an eraser bug

I didn't know Jamboard existed when I made it. But I made it because I didn't
find any app that applies pressure sensitivity and it's quite simple to do
(TL;DR modern browsers support pressure sensitivity).

You can also annotate websites with it. Though, I didn't get the collaborative
aspects of that working.

My focus was on the question "what if websites are like paper?" And I ran with
it for a month, while exploring EmberJS. For that reason, I don't have an
undo, but simply an eraser. It's also why the default style is pencil /
pressure-sensitive based (you can have a more pen-like style though).
