Hi Matt
Firstly, apologies for the delayed reply.

That pretty much sums up what software developers do :)

That’s pretty close. Try this (untested):
console.log('pleasework starting');
var http = require('http');
http.post = require('http-post');
var newTid = {
text: "Tiddler text",
title: "WillThisWork",
type: "text/vnd.tiddlywiki"
};
http.post('http://127.0.0.1:8080/recipes/default/tiddlers/WillThisWork',
JSON.stringify(newTid), function(res){
res.setEncoding('utf8');
res.on('data', function(chunk) {
console.log(chunk);
});
});
The general idea is to compose the tiddler as a JavaScript object, and then use
JSON.stringify() to convert it to a JSON string for sending over the network.
Best wishes
Jeremy
