I've been trying out this extension for a few days.
What I would really like to see from this extension is a 1-click way to sign any message I'm writing, anywhere on the internet. Along with that would be the ability to verify that a keybase signature found in the wild belongs to a particular keybase user. Then I can initiate out-of-band discussions with the author of a comment on someone's blog, not just with a Reddit or Hacker News poster.
Having the keybase chat button appear next to posts on sites like Reddit, HN, etc. seems like a great step toward a "metaweb" platform as well. For example, I could let someone know about the typo in their post via keybase chat, rather than polluting the public comment stream.
Very excited.
- xtian 9y agoI would like the same functionality and I would love if it supported encryption as well as signing.
- shazow 9y agoI like the idea of (semi?)automagically decrypting/verifying content on the web. It's on the list of ideas to explore, but not sure how soon. :) If you have more specific use cases in mind, I'd love to hear them.
- j2kun 9y agoI second this. Rough sketch: detect a text input I'm tying in, add a little button that says "sign and send", which when clicked adds a signature to the message and submits. If the extension sees this on a forum, verify the sig in the background and inject a little check mark next to the username if it checks out.
