One feature I would love is an ability to export a list of downloaded apps so I can import and re-install from a new machine. Even better if you can sync with Mackup.

I’ve been keeping a shell script of all the install commands I run so I can get up and running quickly

You can already accomplish this with Homebrew. If you type 'brew bundle dump' it creates a Brewfile (basically just bunch of install commands) containing all the apps you've installed via Homebrew. Simply copy this file over your new machine and type 'brew bundle install'.
