Every time I'm thinking of random side projects to work on, "make GPG easier to use" is always one of them. There are good things that can be done there, especially with things like keybase. Even a simple web-based (but completely offline) client would make it very easy for me to share encrypted text with colleagues and family, since they don't need to install something just to talk with me the 1% of the time I want to use encryption.
Each time I realize that Signal/Whatsapp/Wire are already doing much more here, and much better than I could do on my own. Sure, they're not email (sadface), but they've effectively solved this problem, by capitalizing on the paradigm shifts brought by phones -- there finally is a device on which to store keys locally (as opposed to on a server) that everyone has.
