diskonaut VS tuc

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.

My favorite tool for this is diskonaut -- it's quicker than repeatedly running du and pleasant to use.

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.

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?

While I usually use ncdu, diskonaut's output is closer to baobab. https://github.com/imsnif/diskonaut

if [ ! -f /usr/bin/tuc ]; then echo "This script requres tuc - https://github.com/riquito/tuc" echo "Available in the AUR." fi

tuc instead of cut (cut text better than `cut`, or lines like head/tails - eg cut first and last line at once) (but I'm biased, I'm the author)

I wrote "tuc", an alternative to the "cut" Unix tool, for those situations where I need something more (mostly the ability to collapse the separator or negative indexing)
