Package Manager for Markdown
I'm working on a project that is intended to encourage folk to make markdown text files which can be bundled together in different bundles of text files using a package manager.
Question for coders; Which package manager would you suggest I use?
Main criterias (in order) are:
1. Easy for someone with basic command line skills to edit the file and update version numbers and add additional packages.
2. All being equal, more commonly and easy to setup is preferred.

@hywan Applite is a great app, and I don’t have anything against it. It’s great for what it does
Just keep in mind that it’s more like an App Store alternative that uses Homebrew casks as a backend, not a Homebrew GUI
As such, it doesn’t support formulae at all, nor taps, services or maintenance
If you’re looking for a more true-to-form Homebrew GUI that supports almost all Homebrew’s features, I’d recommend Cork: https://corkmac.app
Applite, https://aerolite.dev/applite/index.html.
> Download, update and uninstall your Mac apps with a single click
> Applite uses the Homebrew package manager under the hood.
tl;dr, a UI on top of Homebrew casks. Niiice.
