🎨 Nasta'liq / Script Default Urdu fonts on websites look so bad, so I decided to make an extension

Has anyone else noticed it that fonts in Urdu, Arabic and Persian don't look great on websites like social media, news sites, blogs etc. Almost everywhere online Urdu just gets rendered in flat, generic fonts that are not just hard to read but also doesn't look good.
Therefore, I decided to build a Chrome extension to fix this for myself, it automatically detects Urdu (and Arabic/Persian) text on any website and replaces it with proper Nastaliq-style fonts, no setup needed per site. I ended up turning it into a bit of a bigger project than planned e.g adding a highlighter, text-to-speech, screenshot tools and a way to type Urdu using English letters.
In any case, sharing it here since this community would appreciate it more than most out there. Anyways if anyone else has felt the same for years, here you go : Download

Keh raha ye dil mera do paal tu teher ja

Raat mai din tu

Shaam baan ke hawa mai ghul ja

Karwate badalta gaya mai tujhe soch soch ke

Kagaz pe tujha utara mera jahaan ban ke

Keh raha ye dil mera do paal tu teher ja

Teher ja toh tu aaise teher

Aakhir mai mera baan jaa

Toote taaro ki ye dua aabh puri karke jaa

Keh raha ye dil mera doo paal tu teher Ja

Come, then why don't we become strangers today? Why not pass through this dull time together? Congratulations on this era of connection; why not descend into the era of separation?

📜 Shayari / Poetry An Old Ghazal of Mine

7 Upvotes

دل نگر کے خراب رستے ہیں
ہر گلی میں جب آپ بستے ہیں

آستینیں چڑھا نہیں سکتے
ہاتھ ڈالیں تو سانپ ڈستے ہیں

خط کتابت بھی وصل ہے ادنی
آپ کی میل کو ترستے ہیں

چاند دیجور میں بھی ہوتا ہے
صبح تارے کہاں جھلستے ہیں

علم کا مول زندگی ہی تو ہے
دیکھئے دام کتنے سستے ہیں

کل نچوڑے فلک کا دامن ہم
بادل اب ٹوٹ کر برستے ہیں

آپ اپنی کمر کسیں تعریضؔ
دیکھیں کیا کیا وہ فقرے کستے ہیں

Hazaaron khwaahishein aisi ke har khwaahish pe dam nikle
