+WeChat is a messaging program developed by Tencent.
+
+This build re-packages a binary deb file of an unofficial
+client, written by a company called Universal, producing a
+properitary Linux spin-off called Universal OS.
+
+Although the program itself is capable of running as a
+simple userspace program, due to privacy privacy concerns,
+and also due to pickiness of the program to its environment,
+this build installs a bubblewrap (bwrap) wrapper around it,
+which works asynchronously.
+
+That is, you need to start and terminate it with separate
+commands: /usr/bin/wechat-universal start & and
+/usr/bin/wechat-universal stop
+
+One more thing: the system tray icon is dysfunctional, so if
+you run the program, and then close the window, it will stay
+in the background, but there will be no way to restore the
+window. However, this build provides a work-around. If
+you run /usr/bin/wechat-universal start & once again after
+the program has already been started, it will raise the
+program window.
+
+Wechat "magical" screenshot tool is disabled.
