Obsidian WeChat MP Draft Plugin

ZH 中文

The Obsidian WeChat MP Draft Plugin is an obsidian community plug-in for sending note to WeChat MP platform as draft for future editing or publishing.

Original Plugin

The plugin is based on https://github.com/ai-chen2050/obsidian-wechat-public-platform, It is a very creative product.

For most of authors, integrating too many functionalities in one plugin is confusing. Thus I tried to make it as simple as possible.

Respect to the original developer, and please go there for more information.
