Longtime user. Indefinitely feature frozen, but there are still a few bugfix releases a year. Blame bugs on google's shoddy android updates for creating bugs in apps. At the moment, keybase can't seem to open a filepicker, but you can still share-to keybase. It also sometimes forgets how to clear unread markers. The only bad thing that is kinda keybase's fault is the embedded video player, which is just chrome's video player, and it sucks.

Their cross-platform app architecture/dev paradigm was well thought out, which means you'll get an extremely similar experience on both desktop and mobile. This also theoretically means less work and faster update cycles for the devs. I still haven't made full use of all that Keybase offers (for free, mind you), but it should be a no brainer to create an account on, no matter how technical you are. Don't be afraid of reading/learning; even experts do so to pick up new skills 🕴️🐺.

We love KeyBase, but it crashes a lot in the Android client lately. Pretty much whenever the three dots indicator that someone is typing is active. I know you guys were acquired by Zoom, but are ya gonna fix that someday? The ecosystem and everything build is amazing. Especially the desktop apps. The Android app appears to be dying on the vine right now though.
