Keybase is now more accessible than ever before, with fresh iOS and Android apps! I beta tested them both, and I'm super excited to see that they both are launched publicly today!
From the app descriptions:
Keybase is a messaging platform where:
* you can write securely to any twitter, reddit, facebook, github, and hacker news user
* you don't need to know someone's phone number or email address
* all messages are secure, end-to-end encrypted
* multi-device: your messages survive and transfer with encryption to new phones & computers
Keybase is so much more. It is:
* free for everyone, and free of ads
* open source (https://github.com/keybase/client)
* multi-platform, w/apps for macOS, Linux, and Windows (https://keybase.io/download)
Not available in French App Store... WHYYYY?!
And when the fuck will Apple get rid of this territorial segmentation nonsense, lets just have a Universal App Store.
@ikonoklast agreed about territorial segmentation in most cases, although here it's not Apple's fault, it's French law. We got to release the app in every single country *except* France, because France has weird crypto import regulations. We can get a French release out - other crypto apps have - but we have to throw legal time and money, and our own time, at it. We will get to it eventually, but we're a small team.
Been looking forward to this. I love the concept of Keybase as a keeper of crypto-identity. Where do you see this going in terms of adoption -- it seems less like a product for mainstream and more like something for really tech-savvy people and engineers. Do you have any thoughts on how to broaden your appeal, or are you satisfied with this niche?
