They're very clearly not aiming at being professional, with this trashing focus on random features.
- OJFord 7y agoWhat focus is missing? It works great, only missing feature as GP says is paid upgrade (first 250GB is free 'and always will be'). https://keybase.io/docs/kbfs https://keybase.io/docs/kbfs
- sascha_sl 7y agoIntroduction of random features instead of things people ask for. Random features: - Crypto wallets that go on your public profile if you want the alert to shut up - Git. I mean, would you trust a production repo to magic crypto remote relying on a third party service that has no SLAs? - We're kind of Slack/Mattermost/Discord now but with none of the accessability or SLA offerings and you need one or the other to have an audience besides "tech nerds" who are already fragmented on 20+ platforms and clearly just needed one more Things people want: - An app that is less entitled and forces focus over everything. Games, your presentation, everything, it doesn't care. - Dark mode? Literally the highest voted thing and it took them 2 years to start working on it. - Seamless mobile notifications. Signal can show content while maintaining strong crypto, why does Keybase just show '<person> sent you a message'. That is super annoying if you want to use Keybase for an actual team. - Random reliability issues and nobody seems to care about them with any sense of urgency. It's okay to be run like a hobby, to move fast and break shit and pay no attention to polishing the experience. But then don't be surprised if nobody seriously uses your product.
