Hi Furicle. I understand you are not a develope and thus you have a hard 
time using docker, node.js, etc. 
However, TW5 is actually easy to use without servers and development tools. 
You just save the web page with ctrl + s and then you open it again. 
As simple as that. 
This is one of the most important goals of this app's, a serverless one 
page, one file application that won't need external tools, other than a 
modern browser.
