Graph of Keybase commits pre and post Zoom acquisition

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

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

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

  • I encourage everyone who liked Keybase to add a comment to this issue to support opensourcing the server portion of Keybase.

    https://github.com/keybase/client/issues/24105

    Hopefully if enough people make their voices heard Zoom will either opensource it or maybe revive development of it.

  • cyph

    Cryptographically secure messaging and social networking service.

  • https://github.com/cyph/cyph

    It would be wasteful to throw away the Web of Trust (people with handles to keys) that everyone entered into Keybase. Hopefully, Zoom will consider opening up the remaining pieces of Keybase if not just spinning the product back out to a separate entity?

    W3C DIDs and https://blockcerts

    From https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19185998 https://westurner.github.io/hnlog/#comment-19185998 :

    > There's also "Web Key Directory"; which hosts GPG keys over HTTPS from a .well-known URL for a given user@domain identifier: https://wiki.gnupg.org/WKD

    > GPG presumes secure key distribution

    > Compared to existing PGP/GPG keyservers [HKP], WKD does rely upon HTTPS.

    Blockcerts can be signed when granted to a particular identity entity:

    > Here are the open sources of blockchain-certificates/cert-issuer and blockchain-certificates/cert-verifier-js: https://github.com/blockchain-certificates

  • WorkOS

  • You might like Peergos (disclaimer: co-founder here), an encrypted global filesystem built on ipfs - https://peergos.org

    More detail in our book - https://book.peergos.org

    We can also do signed identity proofs with better privacy than keybase's. Here's a public example https://beta.peergos.net/public/ianopolous/.profile/ids/iano...

  • upspin

    Upspin: A framework for naming everyone's everything.

  • ignoring its UX, https://upspin.io/ is the closest alternative that i'm aware of

  • 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.
