[Feature Request] Installation and updates via homebrew

Open igor-arkhipov opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

It would be super convenient to install the application with a simple command like brew install --cask wBlock (I'm pretty sure that Homebrew will accept PR to homebrew-core easily)

Or start by preparing cask and all can add 3rd party repo and install brew tap 0xCUB3/wBlock && brew install --cask wBlock

I guess it's a neat idea for those who are into package manager stuff, but I hope this doesn't get considered for the primary form of distribution, purely to take into account users who don't want to have to install Xcode CLI tools and Homebrew itself just to download an adblocker for Safari. For such users (probably most Mac users?) I'd argue downloading a DMG containing the bundle is simpler.

This is planned after v0.2's release. It's just not a top priority at this point when I'm trying to fix bugs in the app itself.
