Coding on the cloud

So, as all of you probably already know, ren'py heavily depends on being installed on the disk, for a lot of different purposes. However, I spent a long while without a computer, and my creative itch was still pushing me, so I had to find a way to keep making games. I tried with an usb stick but it sucked so I just uploaded it to Google Drive and installed the desktop client whenever I wanted to write on it but that sucked too and I stopped doing it.
But then I realized I had everything backed up on my google account
So I can just open Drive in any browser and open the .rpy files using Drive Notepad, which is a third-party online app that lets you edit your files without downloading
So yeah, basically, I can make visual novels wherever and whenever I can log my google account in, even on my cellphone. I have to download it to test it, however
Any opinions?
