A better WeChat client on Mac OS X and Linux. Build with Electron.

Electronic WeChat is released by this open source project. While Web WeChat is a major component in the app, it should be noted that this is a community release and not an official WeChat release.

This app is still under development. Mainly tested on OS X, but should work on Linux.
