The challenge with any solution that involves more than using a web browser is that some of us won't be able to use it. I suspect this group is a small sub-set of TiddlyWiki users, so your idea still has merit and, I think, should be pursued.
I use TiddyWiki at work because most of the information sources and tools I need to look things up are on slow sharepoint sites (is there such a thing as a fast sharepoint?). So, I copy the stuff I need from sharepoint into a local TiddlyWiki. I'm technically savvy enough to confidently install node.js on my work computer but I'm not allowed to. I shouldn't even be able to except I need escalated privileges for one of the tasks I have to do. But, the company's desktop IDS would catch if I installed node.js without permission (which I won't get). Fortunately, add-ins for Chrome are allowed (and they haven't updated Chrome yet, so it still works). Sadly, I'm not allowed Firefox (I don't know why). When they update Chrome, I will need to switch how I use TiddyWiki and have a slew of index(n).html files to sort through. At home, I don't have this problem. I have a small server (Intel NUC) that provides me with a tiddlywiki server (apache, php, and store.php). But, the average non-technical user wouldn't be able to do that.
