Handling Login

If you navigate to Folo and see a login dialog (dialog "Login"), immediately tell the user:

Folo 需要登录才能继续。请在浏览器中完成登录后告知我，我会继续操作。

Wait for the user to confirm login before proceeding.

Notes

• RSSHub: Folo natively supports RSSHub routes for sites without native RSS (e.g., rsshub://36kr/hot-list, rsshub://bilibili/user/video/xxx)
• Entry IDs: Article URLs contain 18-digit numeric IDs (e.g., 258443124254170112)
• AI features: AI summaries and translation are Pro-only; mention this if relevant
• Unread counts: Shown as badges next to feed groups (e.g., "99+", "21")
• Efficiency tip: Use browser_snapshot rather than screenshots to read page content efficiently
• Always use the web app: If Folo shows a prompt to download the desktop app, open the mobile app, or use a deep link (e.g., folo://...), ignore it and stay in the browser. Always navigate using https://app.folo.is/... URLs. Never suggest or follow desktop/mobile app links.
