## Changelog

### 0.1.0 (2026-11-02)

- First release: collect the public article history of WeChat Official Accounts from their public albums (合集) and Sogou's WeChat index, newest first.
- Accounts can be named by display name, any article link or an album link; single article links can be read in full.
- Full text with paragraph breaks, optional cleaned HTML, images, author, publish location, account `gh_` id, avatar and permanent article keys.
- `publishedAfter` date filter (also for single article links) and an optional per-account checkpoint (`onlyNew`) that never delivers an article twice and continues further back on later runs.
- Deduplication by article identity: a Sogou row's page is read and its `articleKey` compared before it is treated as a duplicate, so different articles are all kept even with identical titles and publish times. The same identity check applies with full text off whenever a Sogou row's page was already read. Sogou rows whose page is not read (full text off) or cannot be read (blocked/unavailable) have no `articleKey` and fall back to account + title + exact publish time.
- Read counts, likes and comments are not included (they need the logged-in WeChat app).
