Thank you Sorawee and Yury, for the references and alternatives. The  https://cryptpad.fr , looks particularly promising option. Some background: I'm looking for a way to share code (mainly) in .rkt and/or .scrbl files in order to share with students of some of my courses. The code is not yet

Sorry if it's slightly offtopic, but if you want to share a read-only snippet of racket code, maybe the racket-away paste(bin) will be handy? http://pasterack.org/ It can also run the code:) Otherwise, recently I have started using https://cryptpad.fr as a casual alternative to Google Drive,

Dear Racket users: Is there a way to* open* (and just *view*) a Racket file (in particular, with extensions *.rkt *or *.scrbl*) from *Google Drive*? (in my case is not necessary even to edit the file, just to verify content). Thank you very much for any pointer to reach that purpose. Please

I'm considering using Racket to remake my 3D game CodeSpells. I'm using http requests to have Unreal Engine and Racket talk to each other. When I use the http/request library, Racket fires off its GET request much slower than if it were to do a system call to curl. (Same is true if I use
