Dear all,

What is the benefit of the (default) "empty" edition in the Node version compared to the signle HTML (https://tiddlywiki.com/empty.html)?

If you try to initialize the "empty" edition:

tiddlywiki test-empty --init
tiddlywiki test
-empty --listen

...then the console says:

Warning: Plugins required for client-server operation ("tiddlywiki/filesystem" and "tiddlywiki/tiddlyweb") are missing from tiddlywiki.info file

Wiki changes are not saved to the harddrive automatically.

If you try the "server" edition:

tiddlywiki test-server --init server
tiddlywiki test
-server --listen

...then everything works as expected.

I think this information is very important, but I can't find it in the description, it should be in the most relevant tiddler: https://tiddlywiki.com/#Using%20TiddlyWiki%20on%20Node.js
It would be even better if the "server" were the default edition.

If the user uses the Node version for the first time and uses the default "empty" edition, he will not know why his notes are being lost, thus he may not even try it again.
