Oweka, a TUI for cleaning up node_modules, target, and other artifacts

Hacker News

Hey HN folks! I noticed that folders like node_modules, target, venv, etc., spread over dozens of old projects, were taking up almost 100GB on my machine! I know npkill exists, but I found it a bit slow and it doesn't seem to handle anything other than node_modules yet. As a result, I decided to make oweka; it's written in Rust with the ratatui framework, and is cross-platform (to the best of my ability).
