That was a great write-up! Perhaps it would be better to say, "concentrate on the desktop". Why would you exclude Mac, when the developer is a Mac guy? I'm thinking the install-node-in-background is a very difficult install sequence, especially since you're having to install the software from some other project. My experience attempting to upgrade node by hand on Linux is that node is finicky and has lots of environmental conditions. The experience wasn't much better on Windows, where installation information is stashed away in the users roaming data directory. Of course, maybe someone has already written an easy-node-installer package. What about TiddlyDesktop? Maybe it should be focus point #1 ? It now does everything you would expect a full-blown app to do. At 200 megs, it's not exactly the lightweight solution that the original TW was, but a lot of people have spare space on their drives these days.
