Hi Marc > I could use NW.js but then I'd have to build my own UI. My thinking is: > could/should I use TW5 Desktop?
If you wish to build a native app based on TiddlyWiki then TiddlyDesktop might be a reasonable place to start. Alternately, you could consider just adding the enhancements you need as TiddlyDesktop plugins - it’s very extensible, like TiddlyWiki itself. > Can TW be leveraged as an application platform which is not necessarily a > wiki (i.e. info platform). It’ll still be a wiki, at least in the sense that TW uses the term (roughly, an application for composing hypertext). But it doesn’t need to look like a wiki to the end user; by replacing $:/core/ui/PageTemplate one can have an entirely custom user interface. > I think TiddlyWiki would be a great platform for a rich/hypertext version of > the Powershell Help System/Reference.

Yes, TiddlyDesktop plugins have access to Node.js APIs.
