Hello everyone, this is programmer Wan Feng actively working on various AI projects.

🤖 A Counterintuitive View

In today's world full of AI tools:

  • Someone writes articles with ChatGPT
  • Someone polishes with Claude
  • Someone formats with Notion AI

But I, chose a "simple" domestic formatting tool.

White Water AI Community's Markdown formatting tool:
https://python4office.cn/md2mp/

No AI, no intelligence, just pure formatting.

Why?

🎯 Reason 1: AI is Not All-Powerful

What can AI do?

  • ✅ Generate article drafts
  • ✅ Polish text
  • ✅ Check typos
  • ✅ Provide writing suggestions

What can't AI do?

  • ❌ Replace your thinking
  • ❌ Provide real experience
  • ❌ Build personal style
  • ❌ Format WeChat official accounts

Yes, ChatGPT can't format WeChat articles.

You ask ChatGPT to format:

1
Please help me format this article into WeChat official account format...

It gives you a bunch of Markdown, then what?

You still have to manually copy to WeChat backend, manually adjust.

AI can't solve the last mile.

🛠️ Reason 2: Leave Professional Work to Professional Tools

AI Writing Tools

  • Advantages: Content generation
  • Disadvantages: Format formatting

WeChat Article Formatting Tools

  • Advantages: Format formatting
  • Disadvantages: Content generation

Division of labor is the right way.

My workflow:

1
2
3
4
1. Think with your brain (AI can't replace)
2. Write in Markdown (simple and efficient)
3. Format with formatting tool (professional match)
4. Copy to WeChat and publish (perfect connection)

No AI, but higher efficiency.

🇨🇳 Reason 3: Domestic Tools Better Understand Chinese Scenarios

Pain Points of Foreign Tools

  • Insufficient Chinese formatting optimization
  • Incompatible with WeChat official accounts
  • Servers abroad, slow access
  • Paid, USD pricing

Advantages of Domestic Tools

  • Optimized for Chinese
  • Perfect adaptation to WeChat
  • Domestic servers, instant open
  • Free, no payment traps

White Water AI Community's this tool:

  • Font: Optimized for Chinese reading (15px most comfortable)
  • Line spacing: 1.75x (best for Chinese reading)
  • Code: Supports Chinese comments
  • Copy: One-click paste to WeChat, format stays intact

These details, foreign tools won't do.

💰 Reason 4: Free vs Paid

AI Tool Prices

ToolPrice
ChatGPT Plus$20/month
Claude Pro$20/month
Notion AI$10/month
Jasper$49/month

Total: $99/month ≈ 700 yuan/month

Formatting Tool Prices

ToolPrice
White Water Formatting ToolFree
XiumiFree + paid templates
135 Editor99 yuan/year and above

I choose free.

Not being stingy, but doing the math:

  • AI tools: 700 yuan/month, can they help format? No.
  • Formatting tool: 0 yuan/month, specifically solves formatting problems.

Which is better value?

🎓 Reason 5: Learn Markdown, Benefit for Life

Cost of Using AI

  • Rely on AI for content generation
  • Can't write without AI
  • Ability degradation

Benefits of Learning Markdown

  • ✅ Universal skill (supported by GitHub, Zhihu, Juejin)
  • ✅ Lifelong benefit (still usable in 10 years)
  • ✅ Ability accumulation (gets more skilled with use)
