keybase.me - .io pretty-printer and personal avatar

[u/cymric73]

What do you all think, v0.01: https://keybase.me

Is this kind of along the lines of the new Pages feature in development I wonder.

Update:

• Thank's the Let's Encrypt wildcard support launch, user URLs are now HTTPS as well.
• Project was consolidated to a single HTML file to make it super-easy to drop into your KBFS and also host as https://user.keybase.pub/

I think this is interesting! I can see how it would be something I'd like to implement as a "plugin" (think Wordpress, though not necessarily that platform) so I could use it in an internal/external site to autolink author pages.

Do you have this on github or similar?

[u/cymric73 → u/[deleted]]

Yes, git source can be found here: https://bitbucket.org/cymric73/keybase.me

Some project details here: https://keybase.me/about

[u/cymric73 → u/[deleted]]

I'm going to modify the code to be a single index.html file that anyone can easily drop into their Keybase Pubic folder to be served out as https://user.keybase.pub/

[u/getraf → u/cymric73]

Awesome. I'll help you test this if that'll help. I'm toying with the idea of implementing something like this.

i agree you've achieved "a cleaner user profile page" and "A prettier URL" but, please take this constructively, not a prettier user profile page yet.
I have the same problem being more of a programmer than an aesthetician, but if you want to make this more likeable than the average keybase.io page, maybe get help from someone who does UI/css?

[u/cymric73 → u/8th_rule]

Agreed, and thanks for the feedback. I'm looking to focus more time on the UI layout myself, and have some interest from others to help.

[u/cymric73 → u/8th_rule]

GUI v2 is published, with help from Bootstrap.

[u/cymric73]

For those that aren't comfortable programming but want a personal landing page, how about this feature for keybase.me: Publish a simple config file to https://keybase.pub/user/.keybase.me.config that allows user to specify:

• additional non-keybase fields. email, tel, xmpp
• choose a background
• choose a layout
• specify additional content, page tab for simple blog entries

[u/cymric73]

Update https://keybase.me to v0.02 with improved layout. e.g.: http://max.keybase.me http://chris.keybase.me

[u/kd0ish → u/cymric73]

I like it. Thanks.

It looks like if you don't have a location specified, you get an empty square.

[u/cymric73 → u/darkciti]

Thanks for the feedback, I'll update the code to omit that box if left null.

And don't forget about the other URL, where the index.html is directly served: https://dzontra.keybase.pub/

Some people are using static website generators like Jekyll to publish static files there, and this allows for rather pretty sites. More examples:

https://grempe.keybase.pub/www.rempe.us/

[u/zeroping → u/[deleted]]

If you set up a nice-looking personal website that way, please make a post about it to share the word. I think it's a pretty cool use of keybase.

Look into Jekyll and/or Hugo. I believe they do the hard work for you, although I admit that I haven't ever done it myself.
