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

Deciding between Rust or Go for desktop applications
Folks open to using gdu might like to try dust (6k stars), or even erdtree (1.4k stars) which is too recent to show up on lists like this and still a bit behind on stars. A lot of people seem to use starship (33k stars) though I'm personally oldschool on prompts. There are many other items on that list I'm not motivated to check.

Rust vs Go Issue
The first thought I had was to use rayon for this. And looking at some prior art that does pretty much the exact same thing, it does indeed use rayon.

Thank you DaisyDisk!
The dust CLI command (made with Rust) can do this too.

Sloth – A Mac app that shows all open files, directories, sockets, etc.
Happened to me this morning, something filled up my drive in minutes. I used dust[1] to look for large files while it was happening but knowing what was doing it would've been a big help.
