Homebrew and its offspring Caskroom are package managers for Mac/ OSX. Contributing a cask definition would allow Mac users to download and install the app with a single command. Here are instructions for creating a cask. I'd like to do this myself so I'll try to take a shot at it soon but I'll admit I'm not an expert when it comes to creating one.

I think we need a stable version before that happens.

Hi @thom-nic,
As you can see in examples of guide that you sended homebrew cask requires builded app so first of all we need as said @mzgnr is to release stable app and then add it to homebrew index.

You're right, unlike homebrew, Caskroom wants a pkg or dmg or zipped .app file. So maybe this request is a little early but once you release a snapshot or alpha I'll be happy to take a shot at creating a cask.

@G07cha - I will get this on the required list for Continuous Delivery post v1.0.0
@thom-nic - The top level issue for anything CI / CD is referenced above and Brew support has been added to the list of deliver requirements.

HI! I'm secretly a maintainer of Homebrew Cask. We can include it in the main repo as soon as you provide a binary release, although I would suggest that some bug fixes go through and wait for the project to stabilize before cutting a release.

Cool project, by the way! I've been following it pretty much all week. 👍
