alt Hacker NewsLooks very neat.
Have you considered offering it through the App Store? I would pay a modestly higher price for that. Or for open source.
But the combination of closed source and not being on the App Store is a bit of a dealbreaker for me.

I am not the OP, but my guess is that it uses APIs that disqualify it from the App Store. It looks like they are doing stuff with raw sockets and probably using some stuff from private 802.11 frameworks?
The app looks fantastic. I'll probably end up buying it.
For me it’s dealbreaker that it’s available via homebrew.
Not a stance or anything, but when I get a new Mac I use homebrew bundle If it’s not in my brewfile from old Mac, theres a high probability I won’t get it installed.
I'm very curious as someone who also offers Mac software but not on the app store... why is not being on there a dealbreaker?
I have considered it, but it would lose a lot of features. It would have to be a "lite" version. To get what we need, we would have to use an external device (think Raspberry Pi) to get the information needed. It's something we are looking at... but as a network guy, I use stuff outside the app store every day (Wireshark, Ekahau, etc.) and have no issue with it.
