Project WAN

A server / toolkit to normalize WeChat articles into plain webpages.

Why

WeChat has built its own system of social networking, and facilitated their own platform of web publishing. WeChat Public Platforms, are very popular among Chinese netizens, thus we can't miss our audience on WeChat. WeChat articles are basically made with HTML markups, but with very hard limits on external links, embed content and actually you can't interact with this article outside WeChat's ecosystem. With some "WeChat article editors"(e.g. Xiumi.us), most WeChat articles have terrible HTML structures and markups, making it hard to be crawled by search engines and webpage optimizers(like Telegram's Instant View).

So What?

This project aims to capture, normalize, purify and serve WeChat articles into standard webpages.
