This is a shame, Keybase's future is looking increasingly rocky. Has anyone got alternatives for team-based secrets sharing in an open-source project?

Github secrets is one place but that's a one-way, write-only street.

I like SOPS [0], but it might be a bit heavyweight. You can also use team versions of password managers for simpler tasks.

Keybase been on life-support since 2020, when Zoom acquired them and moved the entire team over to work on Zoom instead. If you haven't already, put a reminder for the near future to migrate away from Keybase, at one point it will disappear.

I agree with that. Since the Zoom acquisition, developments on Keybase started to fall down, no quality and major updates. Zoom acquired Keybase not for the Keybase as product but only to get the talents of the E2EE and Security Engineers behind Keybase to work with Zoom.

I'll mark this 'keybase.pub being shutdown' as the second downfall of Keybase. Yes, others will say that "its only keybase.pub" but it's the start. Keybase will slowly disappear.

Are there any open source alternatives with quality UX and documentation?
