Ask HN: What are some popular open source projects by Pakistani developers?

14 points by indydevs ↗ HN
I’m trying to create a list to seed a collection on GitHub. My initial searches haven’t come up with too many results but that’s understandable as many Pakistani developers don’t live in Pakistan anymore (like me) or might not be advertising it

Are there many place-of-residence lists like this? You’re only accepting people who actually live there? Do they have to be Pakistani race or just live there?

There are a bunch of lists along the lines of “Made in XYZ” but that’s not what I’m aiming for. I’m looking for projects built by individuals who consider themselves Pakistani by whatever definition they choose

There's an advanced filter for that:

Yep, that was my last attempt at trying to search before I decided to ask instead. Using that filter I took a sample from the most active and most followed users and sorted their source repositories by stars but that didn’t yield (m)any interesting results (my guess is that the majority of Pakistani developers actively contributing to open source projects aren’t residing there)
