Description

When I get a notification on my Linux box from a Keybase chat, there's no indication that it came from Keybase – I just get (IIRC) a name and the message. Please can I suggest a bit more context be added to the message, such as:

  • the fact that it's Keybase that's notifying me
  • which team and channel the message is coming from

otherwise the only way to find out how to turn them off is to go through every application I have installed and try to work out which one is sending me nondescript notifications, then when I realise it's Keybase, try to work out which channel is pinging me...
