Steps to replicate:

Open private tab in browser
Go to website encryption page
Select own username in Recipient input
Type "super secret message" in the The secret message text area
Click encrypt button
Copy text to clipboard
In Keybase-gui click on Crypto -> Decrypt
Paste pgp payload in the input box
Failed to decrypt text shows in red banner across top of page.

I do have gpg keys set for my account.

Pretty sure that's happening because keybase-gui is expecting saltpack and the website is giving you PGP...

Expected behavior?

You may be right.

It seems like I would not need to go to the website to decrypt the payload. keybase-gui has access to the keys as well, so it should be able to be done in the gui as well.
