CLUSTER CLIENT-DESKTOP-LINUX · 4 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2022-10-19
WeChat Linux clients
This cluster covers desktop clients and utilities that run WeChat on Linux, either by wrapping the web client, fixing login issues, or launching the official client via XWayland, plus one integration of Enterprise WeChat with a coding tool. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from—it predates the index or its members are undated. Traction leaders are tied at 0 stars, with wechat-xwayland listed first among them.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
