Containers is an interesting idea, certainly.

Installing TiddlyDesktop is not really the option. All the node based tools we have so far require configuration. This ability is second to TiddlyDesktop, TiddlyServer, etc., but it is a scenario that quite a few people find themselves in, especially when TiddlyDesktop doesn't allow the plugins they want or they otherwise would prefer to stay in their normal browser and TiddlyServer requires wikis to be in specific directories. What I am talking about is a NodeJS script that only requires a port parameter. The rest is handled by the script itself. The extension would handle security and only forward those calls that come from the correct sources. There would be a secured authentication scheme between the extension and the script to make sure that only the extension can use the script and nothing else. Encryption is not necessary since we would be on the loopback. The script would handle the file IO. So that's kind of my idea. Sure, it's definitely a stop-gap measure compared to allowing file system access. But I think it's worth a shot.
