Nice tool, however it would be great if it could display some description and license information and/or whether the app is a trial version that eventually requires a purchase. Otherwise as a user you end up clicking on the info icon to go to the app home page for every app before installing. If that is not possible, a direct link to the app home page would save a click and would be highly appreciated.

Homebrew doesn’t provide that information by default so it would have to be manually added for each app. You can open the home page from the little chevron menu.

  The "brew info" command provides some information, so it would be great if the tool provided a button to fetch the "brew info" output on demand and if it provided a direct link to the homepage as opposed to having to perform two clicks; a tiny home icon next to the info icon would be good.
