Description

TiddlyDesktop is not easy to pick up for a new user.
I think a few things would make a big difference.

#Issue #49 is a good start

Having an actual installer rather than a zip file would be the logical progression. This should allow for both a start menu entry and an obvious button to launch things.

Research direction

Start by reading Issue #49 and reviewing how TiddlyDesktop is currently distributed as a zip file. Define the installer scope around an actual installation, a start menu entry, and an obvious launch button; completion should make those three user-facing improvements available.
