Isn't Keybase pretty much a dead man walking now? Their android app hasn't been updated in 8 months (shortly after the acquisition) even though it had some showstopping bugs like crashes/hangs when typing indicators are enabled
- Aachen 4y agoLast week I installed an app that had its last update 6 years ago. Does exactly what it should, no complaints. 8 months is not a problem, at least if the software isn't super complex and has a ton of bugs (both recently introduced and there since forever) and missing critical features (such as end to end encryption verification, the whole reason they exist). I'm sure it's a coincidence that no updates came out anymore after Zoom took over the team. Anyway, without sarcasm, I don't use Keybase anymore but age isn't really the metric by which I define a dead app walking...
- Rebelgecko 4y agoMy concern with Keybase isn't solely that updates have slowed down, it's that the app has been broken on Android 13 since it came out. Based on their github issues and PRs, it looks like all they have to do to fix it is upgrade their version of react. The fact that they haven't done that yet is what tells me the app is dead.
- soulofmischief 4y agoA friend of mine called in a pretty serious bug[0] post-Zoom acquisition and they jumped right on it, so they at least have clearance to handle security issues. [0] https://johnjhacking.com/blog/cve-2021-23827/ https://johnjhacking.com/blog/cve-2021-23827/
