Hi 👋 Nice project!

The docs aren't clear on this question: how do you recommend setting up multiple devices to use the same private key? Or is that a no-no?

Great question. If you need to use the app on multiple machines, you can copy the private key to other devices by using keys export and keys import (or the desktop app Export/Import option).

In the future, possibly, there will be a way to associate multiple keys to an identity but currently there is a 1-1 relationship, which means currently you can only use a single key at a time.

I'd say this is worth tracking in a dedicated ticket. To me and, I believe, to many of people (judging by the Hacker News discussion pages on keys.pub and keybase.io) that would be a crucial upgrade.

The latest release has an experimental feature called Vault which provides backup and sync (if enabled).
I've started some really basic documentation at https://keys.pub/docs/specs/vault.html, will be adding to it more in the next few days.

The multiple key issue is mentioned here, #41, maybe continue that discussion there?
