Ncdu – NCurses Disk Usage
Have been using ncdu for more than a decade, and recently started using diskonaut for similar purposes. Was looking for a terminal-based treemap visualization for analyzing disk usage and stumbled upon diskonaut, which is exactly that.

Best way to find directories that are filling up my partition?
My favorite tool for this is diskonaut -- it's quicker than repeatedly running du and pleasant to use.

Manage Disk Usage from the Terminal
For a visual person like me, diskonaut is especially useful. It draws the space in rectangles on the screen that you can navigate into. If you resize the terminal it redraws the boxes.

How to learn Rust by own tiny applications?
A lot of unix-y tools have been rewritten in rust, where the usefulness comes from it being faster or having more features. Examples: bat, cw, lsd, ripgrep, diskonaut, gping. Maybe you could find an interesting program to rewrite?

CLI replacement for Baobab (disk usage analyzer)?
While I usually use ncdu, diskonaut's output is closer to baobab. https://github.com/imsnif/diskonaut

AltWinDirStat
The author's views on code seem rather opinionated in general. Their thoughts on internationalization in particular go against all best practices in the pursuit of clean code dogma: https://github.com/ariccio/altWinDirStat/tree/master/WinDirS...
I'm amused that the author rants about the importance of being able to easily analyze code and then wants to produce (presumably) a different binary per language to analyze all over.
Their commit messages are also rather colorful. This is a cool project, but seemingly not someone I'd enjoy working with.
