Interesting. Another approach is https://encrypt.to/ which loads the public key from key servers and encrypts client-side via JS.

To clarify the difference, it seems encrypt.to is a service which does PGP crypto in the browser, based on keys pulled from keyservers. In contrast, Keybase is an identity-proving service, which proves key X belongs to person with twitter account Y, github account Z, etc. As a convenience, it also does encryption and other crypto actions for its users.
