Disadvantage: this site does nothing to make cryptography more accessible / easy to use for the common person.

Try https://encrypt.to/ to send encrypted messages by one click :)

Businesses / nonprofits cannot provide privacy-as-a-service unless they're "SWAT proof" (distributed).

Advantage: SKS is "SWAT proof."

Disadvantage: it doesn't have a memorable name like keybase.io

I'm like, wow, if that's the only issue, that's great lol. Sounds pretty easy to fix ;-)

Disadvantage: I spilled my coffee.
