Yes, I recall our email thread and I saw your email on there today, which I'm copying here in case other people are interested:
> I'm curious: how do you run things on your Linode? For example, I can't find the top-level html page in the repo. It seems like the repo runs inside an iframe of the "REPL" tab? Could you provide some instructions and peripheral config files (Apache/Nginx, etc.) to help make it turn-key? I don't want to make it onerous, but I think just a couple of lines and copy-paste will go a long way.
So responding to your forum comment above and this, I would love for Try Arc to run purely client-side on a static site host like GitHub Pages. Unfortunately, as you mention here, it runs on a VPS (Linode) instead. The reason is that it's not all client-side - it actually communicates with an system arc3.1 hosted on the server.
As for making the repo public, I think that is the logical (almost) next step. The only thing preventing me from doing that right now is a security concern. Try Arc isn't the only project I have hosted on that VPS. Currently there's a measure of "security through obscurity" that helps protect the other stuff on that server. I think the next step is to move it to a server where it's the only thing running. Then as soon as that's done I'll make the repo public.
I'll respond about the iframe and other configuration a bit later.

I looked around a little bit for solutions. There's a project called Whalesong, but the most up-to-date fork only runs on Racket 6.2: https://github.com/soegaard/whalesong .
In trying to find the github link for Whalesong just now, I came across Racketscript, a Racket -> Javascript compiler: https://github.com/vishesh/racketscript . I'll see if I can make it work later, but it looks promising.
