Keybase - Crypto for Everyone

Since Keybase doesn’t support legacy devices such as iPad Mini 1, the “Add a device” feature is somewhat limited. If you don’t want to deal with paper keys, linking 3+ devices to your Keybase account is the way forward. Think about those old iDevices you have lying around doing nothing. Suddenly they could be used to further strengthen the security of your Keybase account. This is terribly important if you use Keybase for professional team collaboration an/or as a digital wallet.

The team system is very limited and the namespace is not tied to an account. It is global and once deleted, they are gone forever. So it’s going to be a land race to get all the team names you can before others. Additional, team names are limited to 16 characters. It almost feels like I’m living back in the 1980’s. Some commands only work on the terminal, which means the “crypto for everyone” really means for everyone who is an super user, engineer or IT person. In the first 20 mins of use, I had to google instructions to understand how or if some was possible. Buttons/icons don’t support hover. I think it’s a good start, but needs work to be more user friendly. The team system needs a complete rewrite.

Sure some features here could be a bit cleaner or better, but this is encryption and security first, everything else second. It has a little bit of a learning curve, and "Teams" are still being worked out (but really are fine), but take the time to learn because encryption is a necessity these days.

This app is a staple in my every day workflow, two of my offices use it to keep in contact over projects and support tickets. There is room for improvement in the mobile apps however Keybase overall is one of the most useful apps I've ever downloaded. Chat, free Dropbox storage, encrypted git, teams, stellar, and more

This application has all the features you’d expect from Keybase. But the entire application feels really sluggish and slow at times. The amount of times I have to force quit the application because I can’t switch views or a specific part of the application isn’t functioning properly is insane. Users can tell the difference between native apps and hybrid apps. This application would be perfect if it was a native app with a bit more polish...
