I have to agree... I keep hoping that someone build something easier to use on top of keybase... (assuming keybase sticks to it's single purpose, and doesn't try to build it's own systems on top)

It also makes sense to separate the public key aggregation from the services that use the keys, and the plugin systems that translate... it would be easy enough to create a browser plugin that exposes an API that can be used to encryptMessage or signMessage, where the plugin notified/asked the user.. and all the in-browser app will get is the encrypted message... same for decryptMessage and verifyMessage...

Hmm...
