You are right.

Does the WeScheme IDE fit the bill?  http://WeScheme.org/

I only just found it but I seem to remember stumbling across it in the past.

It looks like you get real racket, compiled on AWS?

It requires an internet connection and, at least for me, the documentation
doesn't fit on the screen of my iPad mini, but I think they will be
resolved if they move to the new racket documentation stylesheets.

Kind regards,

Stephen
