I don't know about the others, but there are indeed people like me in India developing and maintaining non-cool, not on Github, free software. If you're here on Hacker News, there's actually a pretty good chance you've run, directly or indirectly, code I've written without even registering it.

What's the popular forge platform in India?

I know in China they typically host on Gitee - but it's in part an artifact of the national firewall. Didn't know in India it's also silo'ed off

[darnir]

I wouldn't say its siloed off. Its often on popular forges like Github and Gitlab. But also on smaller ones like sourceforge, GNU Savannah, sourcehut, etc. My point being that a lot of the free software movement in India doesn't create the hot new Rust / Go app. Its more focused on smaller things or on using the existing tools

What are some examples of smaller things that are more relevant in India than in the US/Europe?
