Probably a combination of…

And some canvas plugin. A long time ago I used jSignature which allows you to scribble, tho I’m sure there’s newer more nimble libraries out there now.

Probably won’t work on the browser without being Cordova wrapped.

The you’d have to go to the ole print screen for that.

The canvas bit tho would work in either scenario.
