I think the packages tiddlywiki and nodejs-tiddlywiki serve two very different purposes:

The tiddlywiki package installs tiddlywiki for local usage. It even has a dependency to xdg-utils that is not useful on a headless server. And supplies a python script that starts the local browser.

The nodejs-tiddlywiki installs the nodejs-module to run a tiddlywiki-server [1]. It depends on the package nodejs because it is needed for this use case and contains no files or dependencies for using tiddlywiki locally.

I am in favor of one unified tiddlywiki package, but if this package gets merged into the tiddlywiki package, the server use case should be considered there. What I do not like is installing unnecessary dependencies on my server.
