Unless I'm doing things the hard way, there's more to it than a simple 
desktop app.

You have to install npm. 

Then you install node.js

Then you find a directory, download the release code, extract a file, 
configure a config file, drop to a command box, and run an install routine.

Then you run a server command, copy or memorize a long address (if you 
don't think it's long then you aren't a newbie), open your browser, copy in 
the address,  drag and drop the fixit to your menu bar, navigate to your TW 
file,  activate the fixit,  and then finally start using TW.

Except at the moment it doesn't save for me, so maybe there's yet another 
step I missed.

I would say that all that for a newbie is going to be pretty daunting. 
Assuming we want newbies, then maybe there's no perfect solution and it's 
just a progressive thing. Someone who is new will start by using tiddlyspot 
or using the default save, and then over time can "upgrade" to FirefoxESR 
or tiddlyserver. Of course, FESR is going to disappear eventually. So I'm 
still thinking that a specialty launcher that smooths the difficulties of 
the default save might be a long term solution. 

BTW, when did the clock on that 25 year goal start ticking?

Thanks,
Mark
