The first prize was put in bags by a project with the title & # 39; Voice & # 39; that also does something similar to Pseudonym with a slogan reading & # 39; we give a voice to the things that you can not pronounce & # 39 ;.

The winner of the prize, Asad believes that the Pakistanis have a lot of potential, provided they get the chances like this.

I am very happy that we have had the chance to prove ourselves. Many others were selected from Pakistan, but unfortunately they did not receive a visa. I'm sure they would have reached the charts as well

Pseudonymous

The slogan for the project says & # 39; Anonymous conversations for Facebook groups & # 39 ;.

This means that you can now share your feelings anonymously, instead of using a pseudo-name that assigns the application to each user to ensure privacy.

There are so many problems that we often think about sharing anonymously, especially in the context of Pakistan, and the Pseudonymous bot allows you to do that without bringing your real name.

This is how it works: before and after.

All you have to do is add Pseudonym as the linked page or group of your group. Second, place the bot link, rather attached, so that users can post anonymously in the group. As soon as they click on the link, the Messenger opens where they can write their message that is published with a pseudo-name. It looks like this:
