I like the idea of saving programs through a Google account,

That might be fine for particular users of this particular app... but, as a general comment, for people doing other Web-based apps, using "the cloud" in this way is actually a really bad direction for privacy in most cases.

(This is a serious and huge topic, which is mostly outside the scope of Racket, and I doubt any of us want to get into the topic here by building up from first principles. I just think that that kind of cloud use shouldn't be mentioned in an impressionability-heavy venue like this, without someone pointing out that it's not necessarily a good general approach.)

If anyone just wants quick&dirty storage for a Web app (online or offline), the easiest thing to consider first is "http://mozilla.github.io/localForage/";. You can look at the implications from there, but it's one of the easiest and best starting points for most Web app casual storage purposes at the moment.
