Keybase.pub Shutting Down on March 1 2023

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • client

    Keybase Go Library, Client, Service, OS X, iOS, Android, Electron

    > development slowed down to a crawl

    It's pretty wild that you can see exactly the moment when Zoom bought them on their github activity graph: https://github.com/keybase/client/graphs/code-frequency

  • sops

    Simple and flexible tool for managing secrets

    I like SOPS [0], but it might be a bit heavyweight. You can also use team versions of password managers for simpler tasks.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • keys

    Key management is hard

    The only one I've seen that comes close is https://keys.pub/ but it still misses a lot of what keybase gives (sigchains, etc.)

    Previous HN thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22995792

    Are there any others to consider? It's been quite sad to see Keybase so stifled after being acquired. :-(
