Install via Homebrew

[alexeyshockov]

Hey, thanks for the app! Are you going to provide a Homebrew formula for it, for a more convenient way to install? Just curious.

No plans to do this yet. I don’t think there’s enough demand :) I’ll keep the issue open though. If enough people need this, we can figure something out.

I noticed there's a, possibly new, easy workflow to write a cask formula, brew create [--cask ...] url. I've drafted one, and show 2 other brew cask formulae for comparison.

I'll note, based on the release naming scheme, the brew-cask recognized version is M.m instead of M.m.p, because of the name format, v1.2.zip vs v1.1.0.zip and v1.0.0.zip on releases.

Thanks @mcint! I’m traveling right now, but I should be able to take a closer look some time later this week.
