## What it is
A desktop application built with Electron, TypeScript, and Vue3 for downloading WeChat Official Account (公众号) articles. It captures required request parameters via an HTTP proxy and converts articles to HTML, Markdown, PDF, or Epub formats.

- batch download wechat public account posts to markdown
- convert wechat articles to epub ebook

- archive wechat article comments and images locally
- filter wechat articles by title or author keywords

## When to choose
- you need to bulk-archive a WeChat public account's articles locally
- you want articles converted to HTML, Markdown, PDF, or Epub
- you want to store article source HTML in MySQL for later conversion

## When to avoid
