Ok... but it sure would be lot more attractive as a stand-alone app, not a plug-in, and not tied to VS-code.

Again, TiddlyWiki seems the model.  In fact... a Leo plug-infor TiddlyWiki would seem a natural!

    This is a good point, and I will admit that the 'out of the gate'
    description of LeoJS in the readme is all laid out in the
    forefront to be the 'javascript implementation of Leo as a vscode
    plugin', the goal being to get the Leo user-base's attention and
    interest, in trying out LeoJS, being a 100% compatible Leo
    equivalent. (except for being scriptable in JavaScript instead of
    python)


I think that a helpful approach could be along these lines:

/LeoJS is a combined outliner and code editor based on the principles evolved over many years for the Leo Editor. LeoJS is highly compatible with the Leo Editor at the file and internal API levels.  In this way existing Leo Editor users can use LeoJS and continue to work as they always have, and new users can get the benefits of running in a VS Code or browser host. The combination of outliner and code editor together provides unexpected and remarkably useful benefits./
