TiddlyDesktop doesn’t use node_modules at the moment. You’ll need to research
the details of how nw.js handles node_modules, but it definitely works.

It’s not a trivial amount of work, I’m afraid. There is no direct access
between the TiddlyDesktop main process and the content of a wiki. To devise a
way for the wiki to request that the main process executes a code fragment, you
might want to to look at how saving is handled using the DOM for message
transfer. You’d need to rig up something similar so that a hosted wiki can
request that a code fragment be executed.
Just to be clear, your goals here are ambitious and unusual. I don’t know of
anyone else who’s done the same thing. So there’s going to be quite a lot of
slog to get there: you’ll need to learn a lot of the details of how things work
so that you can copy/extend things. As a programmer, I’d say that it’s the
recipe for absorbing entertainment, but it’s not for everyone :)
Best wishes
Jeremy
