How did you manage to get something written in Go into the iOS app store? I was under the impression that foreign binaries weren't allowed.
The bigger problem with go is if/when Apple requires bitcode on iOS.
Unless devs are given the option to test the final binary, it's delivering untested binaries to users, and as such should be a no go.
The paper key process after the initial login is broken. Because I didn't have an actual piece of paper with me when I tried the app (and writing down things like that on paper is a weird idea anyway) I opened 1Password to create a secure note there. Unfortunately, when I returned to Keybase the app had already silently moved on to the next screen without me having confirmed anything. I'm not sure what this paper key…
You can add another paper key using `keybase paperkey`, and you may want to revoke the old one using `keybase device remove `. This is also possible to do from the "Devices" tab in the desktop or mobile app.
Of course, if you have Keybase both on your computer and your phone you already have some redundancy, and maybe having a paper key is not as important.
Support for the PGP portion that is available on the web would be great as well, maybe with a "Copy to Clipboard" after encrypting so I can drop the ciphertext straight into an email? Or (with a few more permissions), using a Share feature to write the email/chat in the app of my choosing, and I just have to choose the sender.
If this catches on like I hope, I can see a grand future where Keybase is how I can contact almost anyone I know through almost any means (FB, Twitter, etc.), but until then, it would be cool to have support for "legacy" addressing such as email, but still with strong encryption.
Congratulations on the release! Been waiting for this one :) Requests to any Keybase devs reading this: * UI to disable the macOS app from auto-launching on login (slightly user hostile not to be able to have this option, also asking permission before putting something in my Finder sidebar would be nice, useful though it may be!) * Not sure if there's a technical reason for this, but it would be nice to be able to li…
Not affiliated with Keybase: The whole point of Keybase is we don't have to trust Keybase (as a company). The proofs have to be independently verifiable, and an oAuth login wouldn't be.
I'd personally prefer maybe a badge which was showed either publicly or privately verified, and then people can make their own judgement, but I appreciate there's a loss in simplicity then.

> the ability to browse your encrypted files (KBFS) I'm really looking forward to that. I use something I cobbled together for password management that's completely backed by KBFS [Passbase] and I haven't worked on it much, but the main gripe I have is the difficulty in using my passwords in Android apps. Web apps are fine, Chrome syncs the password so I just login once from a computer, but any app is a painful `pass…
>That's a long introductory way of saying: KBFS on phones will be fantastic - but I've long intended to move my (pretty much personal use only, but still) app to using a database rather than raw files, so is there any plan for programmatic access to KBFS for other apps? I realise there are non-trivial issues concerning permissions there, but it could be really great - perhaps silo other apps from full access, e.g. 'A…
Yep, that would be ideal :)
I'd like to use KBFS' multiparty private storage for shared passwords too though, which I think would be far easier to implement with a proper DB than text files.
The issue then is that if KBFS just comes as an 'explorer' view within Keybase app, I wrote have no way to copy a password for use. Hopefully cross-app access or a fully mounted drive is on the cards though.
Oh HN, so much for a soft-launch! (But thanks for all the positive comments on here.) We've been testing Keybase a lot with iOS and Android testers and we quietly released into the app stores last night. In many ways it's an MVP focusing on: (1) Keybase chat, and technically important (2) your phone acting as an additional device key, so you can easily provision new desktop computers. There are still some things miss…
I've been evangelizing keybase for a while now and was checking almost every week for info on an Android app, but this 'existence' by way of a React app is a huge disappointment. Without a simple, lightweight, native app, it is very difficult to do verified builds and engage community contributions. I sincerely hope there are plans in place for a real Android app; I would happily contribute in any capacity I could.

I am really tiring of these cute, but vague clauses. I think discussing important topics like war, death, and censorship are needed, but then again maybe I'm not "nice" bring up uncomfortable issues especially when they don't make your hero/candidate look good.
I'm pretty sure it's just a joke. There's no way such a thing would be enforceable.
