#5>Cross-platform app distribution is a hard problem! [...] At least on OS X, things are a little easier with Homebrew

#7You don't even need to maintain a separate custom tap repo. Keep the formula in the same repo in a Formula directory, and include the repo URL when tapping (gets rid of the homebrew- restriction)
The brew command for users would be:
brew tap octavore/delta https://github.com/octavore/delta.git
brew install delta

Example above of course doesn't currently work because the formula is not there
(I successfully use it in my repo: https://github.com/stepanhruda/ios-simulator-app-installer)
