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. Web apps are fine, Chrome syncs the password so I just login once from a computer, but any app is a painful `passbase read appname > /Drive/tmp.txt` and open-copy-switchapp-paste experience via Google Drive. I use something I cobbled together for password management that's completely backed by KBFS and I haven't worked on it much, but the main gripe I have is the difficulty in using my passwords in Android apps. > the ability to browse your encrypted files (KBFS) If you're an HN user and give it a try, please send us feedback. Except for the chrome, which is react/react native. Possibly interesting to HN: Keybase is one of the only large apps we know of which exists on all 5 platforms (iOS, Android, macOS, Linux, and Windows) and which was programmed almost entirely in Go. Also, provisioning is still a bit clunky. There are still some things missing from the app, such as the ability to browse your encrypted files (KBFS), although the app actually has KBFS running inside it. 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. 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.
