Thanks! That got it to work. I was literally running nw all by itself (I don't understand what nw really *is*, I'm just at the level of blindly following instructions at the moment, though I'm happy to learn). Currently I have just unpacked the tiddlydesktop zip into my downloads folder.
Next question: Am I going to have to do that every time I want to start TiddlyDesktop, or is there a way to get it to behave like a normal application (show up on my dock, etc)? Would putting it somewhere else (usr/local/bin maybe? Again, I'm very new to this) achieve this result?
