NPkill - Let's get rid of unused node_modules
Npkill is a simple command launchable via npx that scans your disk looking for all node_modules folders, tells you how much space they occupy, and allows you to choose which ones to delete.

Web Crap Has Taken Control
This is simply not true. Performance here is objectively bad since the payload is quite large. Also, I would comment that the DX with Blazor is not very good overall. For all the things broken with JS UI dev these days, DX with hot module reload is quite a marvel that I wish more platforms could achieve (C# kinda has it).
My team recently did a large browser extension project and ended up using jQuery and web components. One of the younger devs made a humorous comment like "Why does this feel kinda nice?" (paraphrase).
But yes, overall, the pain is very real. A recent pass with npkll[1] freed 20+ GB of disk space....

Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use?
I initially created Npkill (https://npkill.js.org) for my own use because as a web developer I was always running out of disk space. When we launched it quickly became popular because it seems that not only we had that problem and today it is the most popular tool for that purpose.
Another one I launched was Pill Reminder (https://zaldih.github.io/pill-reminder/). If you are taking something for a cold or medical treatment it allows you to easily swipe and note down when you have taken your medication and lets you know when you are due to take it next.
ScrollTabs (https://github.com/zaldih/scrolltabs-extension) was born so soon after I migrated from chrome to firefox years ago and I missed being able to switch between tabs with the mouse scroll.
+ many others that I would like to prepare and make public for the future.
