dua-cli VS erdtree

Also `dua`[0] is a great `du` replacement which is must faster on modern NVMe drives. Also has an interactive mode `dua i` which I'd frame as a `ncdu` replacement.

Yeah erdtree won't scratch that itch if you prefer interactive apps. I personally wanted something to just give me quick visual info without spawning an entire terminal UI and learning its quirks. But if you're an ncdu person and are in the mood for a modern alternative I'd recommend checking out Dua

Thank you! And totally understandable. erdtree won't scratch that itch for folks who have a penchant for interactive terminal apps. As I mentioned in another thread I've gotten a lot of mileage out of the original tree program so I wanted to keep the spirit of the thing. If you want a more modern version of ncdu perhaps you might like dua!

Can also try https://github.com/Byron/dua-cli

Another one I used for years until I found dua-cli. It can be run as a TUI with dua -i for a ncdu like interface.

dua - Tool written in Rust with interface similar to gdu (and ncdu)

Dua was really useful for me https://github.com/Byron/dua-cli

The most substantial project that I have to show for my knowledge of the lower level topics is this project I work on in my spare-time called erdtree and I'm really banking on that to stand-in as "experience" in the absence of professional systems experience.

I'm working on this little project called erdtree and could use a bit of help adding information about file owners and permissions for the windows build if you're interested. No worries if not :)

I actually do put my main function in the middle

User feedback really helps drive erdtree's development so happy to accept input if you have any! And yeah et became erd because of name clashes with a lot of other existing packages.

I'm a self-taught developer working professionally as a director of engineering who writes Rust on weekends. I've been using Rust now for a little over 2 years and am the author and maintainer of this little command-line tool called erdtree. Before I was a programmer I did extensive tutoring in various subjects like organic chemistry, biochemistry, physics, calculus, etc..

Took a healthy break from this little open-source project I've been iterating on.. ready to get back to it this weekend :]

I personally use erdtree, it even uses icons to differentiate various kinds of files

Here’s a project that I work on in my spare time. I initially worked on a very bare bones version on a 6-hour plan ride back in spring of 2022 because I was bored and wanted to work on something challenging without the need for internet. After two days I posted a naive version onto GitHub and after like 6 months it got around 100 stars on GitHub so I then decided to give it special attention in January of this year and have been iterating on it since.
