I was looking into this; wouldn't mind taking a stab at it myself soon!

Couple questions about it that would help in adhering to Homebrew's Cask guidelines:

  1. @jcsalterego, would you be okay with me/someone else submitting this as a Homebrew Cask? a. I don't mind trying to maintain the cask (once I learn how to) myself, collaborating with you/others, or transferring ownership of it to you/another later.
  2. Would you consider this "beta" or "unstable" software instead of something relatively stable? This would help file the Cask under the proper tap type.
  3. This project does not fail any of the Homebrew criteria for rejecting casks, does it? a. E.g., requiring SIP to be disabled, failing macOS GateKeeper verification, is installed via a pkg installer that requires allow_untrusted: true b. I can help test these aspects further through diving into the code, compiling/testing it myself, etc. soon but if someone already knows the answers to these, we can speed up the process.
  4. Also for the maintainer (don't want to double-tag in the same comment): is continued development planned for this project as and when you're able, or are there plans to take on collaborators, maintainers, or transfer ownership of the project? I notice there are only 2 branches, both of which are stale, and main hasn't been updated in 3 months so far.

@paanvaannd

  1. sure!
  2. stable? i use it daily
  3. it's distributed as a normal apple-signed app. just not through the app store. seems ok to me
  4. it's probably going to be a solo project as long as i can maintain it

I haven't gone through the Homebrew submission process myself, but I would also love to have this available as a cask. I prefer managing all of my applications through Homebrew, and I think this would also help with distribution and discovery.

Ah, shoot: sorry folks! Life got busy, this fell by the wayside. Still busy, but less so now. I'll add it to my to-do to investigate soon (likely have some time this weekend).
