Total 145 developers were divided into 53 teams in the hackathon and two of them were Pakistani who made their project that will help you to share things anonymously in Facebook groups.The tagline assigns to the project is “Anonymous conversations for Facebook Groups”.
Sharing the views about their app, the Pakistani developers said:
“We noticed a common pattern in many discussion groups: A lot of members want to discuss important issues but many topics are best discussed in anonymity. Unfortunately, Facebook’s real-name policy forces them to keep mum when they have a lot to contribute otherwise.”
“A major inspiration for us to build this app is a Facebook group named ‘Soul Sisters Pakistan’. It is a Facebook group only for females from all around the world connecting them together. It’s a platform where women can ask, share and discuss things they like, but many times there are situations when people don’t want to reveal their identity but they want a solution to their problem at the same time. In such a scenario, they started sending their issues to their friends to post them ‘Anonymously’ on their behalf. This is a ‘hack’ that is widely used by the community.” They further added.
Well, if you want anything anonymously without the risk of any privacy issue, now with the help of this app, you can share your feelings.
As, there are lots of things which you want to share anonymously. The app assigns a pseudo-name to each user which will ultimately insure the privacy.
