Description

  1. I've tracked myfriend through keybase.io or CLI
  2. Navigating to /keybase/private/me,myfriend brings up GUI to track myfriend again. This made me unsure of if I really had spelled his name correctly or if I did something else wrong..

Using the OS X client

Research direction

Start with the OS X client and reproduce the flow by tracking myfriend through keybase.io or the CLI, then opening /keybase/private/me,myfriend. Trace how the client handles an already tracked user during private-folder navigation. Done means a user who has already tracked myfriend is not prompted to track and verify that user again.
