# Homebrew-Cask is not a discoverability service
Ever since the inception of Homebrew-Cask, various requests fell under the umbrella of this reply. Though a somewhat popular request, after careful consideration on multiple occasions we’ve always come back to the same conclusion: we’re not a discoverability service and our users are expected to have reasonable knowledge about the apps they’re installing through us before doing so.
From the inception of Homebrew-Cask, various requests fell under the umbrella of this reply. Though a somewhat popular request, after careful consideration on multiple occasions we’ve always come back to the same conclusion: we’re not a discoverability service and our users are expected to have reasonable knowledge about the apps they’re installing through us before doing so.
Examples of requests under this same theme:
+ [Separate by categories](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/issues/5425).
+ [Rank by popularity](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/issues/4323).
+ [Add descriptions](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/issues/16089).
Amongst other things, the logistics of such requests are unsustainable for Homebrew-Cask. Before making a request of this nature, you must read through those issues, as well as any other issues they link to, to get a full understanding of why that is the case, and why “but project *x* does *y*” arguments aren’t applicable, and not every package manager is the same.
