Mark S., I thought your observations useful in their precision upon https://ihm4u.github.io/twexe/.
I was amazed TWEXE worked at all--it came out in 2015 & don't think revised since? Yeah its "similar" to other node type "self-contained" systems (BobEXE, TiddlyDesktop). But it is also different. The way it can compile a TW into a executable I thought really interesting for potential Desktop application making. I assume it is not, however, maintained??
