Description

Feature Request Explanation

I suppose none of us has requested this feature, but i really would like to see an alternative to have to install the Desktop (Electron) app, to be able to chat, see my wallet, integrate with Git, etc. If it was a really native app (using the Qt framework), that would make me think about it, but i really hate Electron, and right now it's the only reason why i'm keeping on my system, i'm not sure if Keybase chosen this way because of its faster development times, easier development or what, but i really would like to request an alternative, to run on the web browser, cause it's a really shame for me, Electron is really slow, heavy, uses a lot of hardware resources to achieve the same that could be achievable with Qt, but with half the resources or even less.

I would like to know what the rest of the users think about this and of course, what the Keybase team think about this, of course.

Thank you for your great work and efforts and sorry for the inconveniences.

Bests ^^.
