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.
