[Lazarus] Tell me, does this application exist?

wkitty42,

The other thing a tablet would provide over a digitizer is that it can
display an actual image of the work as you draw. Sure people could get used
to drawing on a input device while watching their computer monitor, but
drawing on a flat paper like device, while seeing their artwork on that
same flat surface device would best replicate pen and paper drawing.
Additionally, I could see the tablet providing ghosting drawing function
while you draw to reduce the lag between the tablet and the desktop
computer. That is the user could see his strokes in realtime while the
desktop computer (service application) is busying performing work and
serving screen updates. This way the work on the tablet would be much more
fluid or smooth.

Also I found this person searching for the same thing:

In his summary section the above youtuber answers my original question with
a NO, or at least non worth while. He expresses hope that application
developers will fix the issues he brings up. Also all the existing
applications seem to follow the same model I mentioned, and that is a
tablet application which communicates with a special desktop application
service.

In my opinion this looks like something that may warrant further research
with Free Pascal and Lazarus. Again in my opinion they would be the best
tools for developing a desktop service application for multiple platforms
to handle the command processing and graphical view generation.
