    It's commonly known that withgoogle.com is a site Google uses for marketing and non-services sites.

  Yes. Just because the app is hosted on a google domain tells us nothing about who developed it, what their intent might be, what data it might be gathering as/when you log in,... It's basically a black box, and any suggestion that it ought to be trusted "because Google" is naive in the extreme.

    I wonder what clearances you have to go through at Google to get your project into a toplevel directory or subdomain?
