Homebrew Tap For Seamless Glance

This repository provides the Homebrew formula for Seamless Glance.

Seamless Glance is a terminal-native AWS operations dashboard built for:

• fast triage
• wasted-resource discovery
• precise pivots into the AWS CLI and AWS Console

The tap exists to make macOS installation and upgrades straightforward through Homebrew. The product itself lives in the main Seamless Glance repository, and release binaries are published from the distro repository.

• Cost Savings recommendations tied to live resource signals
• in-terminal resource describe overlays with structured and JSON-oriented views
• AWS CLI handoff for supported resources
• exact AWS Console pivots for supported resources
• keyboard-first navigation, region switching, and command palette workflows
