I recently registered keybase.vote for a related web app idea. Rather than anonymous voting, rather, I wanted the opposite: authenticity in voting, polls, surveys, etc. A common problem in surveys is verifying that the respondents are real and from people you trust. Within small communities, you would have a large enough web of trust that you could rely on who you are following to determine who you individually pay attention to from the result set.
So my idea was simply to have the survey/poll generate a text field of all the Q/A in a JSON body, kinda like the proofs of keybase, and then have the user copy/paste it and sign it on keybase and then submit their response.
I would have the whole result set downloadable in raw format that anyone could easily verify with keybase commandline tools. But I’d also employ the web of trust created by following on keybase.
I thought I’d try it out and see if works. I like the idea of Keybase being a general way to authenticate without needing any elaborate login process or email acccount.
