It's a great app for end to end encryption. It does totally deserves 5 stars. Easy to use but there are 3 drawbacks. I removed 3 stars. - Usernames are not decentralized. Keybase developer has full power to delete your account permanently. - Too many bugs development team more focused on developing half baked new shiny stuff instead of fixing bugs. Github issues page filled with unanswered/unassigned tickets. People can't even get sound notifications when they get message such a deal breaker problem ignored by developer team. - In some cases privacy worse than Facebook. Everyone in the world can see your followers and see everyone's validated accounts. So It's super easy to understand who is friend with who. Basically this developer is crypto version of Mark Zuckerberg.

Wish Keybase was federated/decentralized, but notwithstanding the drawback of a centralized server, it is an excellent app.
Keybase respects user's privacy.

Initially I liked Keybase for what it offered, but after its recent acquisition by Zoom there are now privacy concerns that anyone interested in retaining their privacy should consider. Good alternatives at the moment appear to be Signal and Wickr, among others.

It's a collaboration tool with security in mind. Too bad we live in a world in which security is an extra. With the larger, cloud based collaboration tools, you never know if the company behind it is watching and stealing your precious ideas.
Great all-in-one app providing encrypted private/shared file storage, git repos, and chat. It may not be the most secure or distributed tool for these use cases, but it's certainly the most accessible for the average user.
It's private, it's lightweight and offers a lot of free storage
