Hi Matt, when running under node, tiddlywiki creates two instances of itself - open runs under nodejs and the other is run in the browser, the two instances sync with each other (send tiddlers to each other).
In *create-pinboard-tiddlers.js* you will see the line if (!$tw.node) return; this means the code only runs on the nodejs tiddlywiki instance, it has no effect in the browser instance, therefore your code must run in the nodejs instance, so things are more complicated. One possiblity may be to use the tiddlywiki 'hooks' and run some code when a particular tiddler is saved.
