How toplevmas/paywallbuster works
PaywallBuster is a client-side aggregator: users enter an article URL, open the article page, choose a third-party service, and view or share the resulting link. The README also documents bilingual UI, FAQ content, and five service integrations; these are reflected here. The supplied Articles source was not sampled, so service selection, preview, and sharing links are based on README documentation rather than verified call sites. No backend or persistent article store is shown.
