Oh, a clarification: the Node client will be replaced by the Go version. The `keybase` command line app will be a superset of what's available in the Node client now. Sorry. So yeah - still providing those API's.
PGP support will continue, always, it's just that you won't need to have PGP on all your devices -- just the ones you use PGP on. Your PGP key will be part of a family of keys you're known by. If you install Keybase and have no idea what PGP is we don't make you get a PGP key.
By switching to device-specific keys via apps on every platform, we can solve security and convenience problem at the same time. As the blog post says, this can only work if you can bring pairs of devices together. Which has only been possible and convenient the last couple years.
- chrisfosterelli 11y agoAh, ok. Go binaries tend to be more portable and don't require npm, so I can understand that direction. Thanks for the explanation!
- jamra 11y agoIt's about time for your obligatory /r/golang post about how you switched from 30 servers to 1 by switching to Go ;)
- davidbanham 11y agoIt's client-side code they're migrating rather than server-side. Fingers crossed it makes the CLI a bit snappier!
- coldpie 11y agoVery excited for your repos to go public! I'd love to contribute :)
- sjustinas 11y agoI'm really excited to see a (relatively) large and complex desktop application being written in Go. Waiting for it to go public!
