Wiper is a handy command-line tool made with Rust. It's perfect for anyone looking to quickly spot which folders are eating up all the disk space. Super easy to use, it gives you a clear visual breakdown of directory sizes, so you can clean things up without a hassle.

• Fast and Efficient: Quickly scans directories and subdirectories to provide size metrics.
• Cross-Platform: Works on Linux, Windows, and macOS.
• User-Friendly Output: Displays results in an easily understandable format.

I started this project as part of my journey to learn Rust. I always missed having such a tool but had never heard of dua-cli. From my understanding, there are some differences:

• Wiper allows navigating to the parent directory at any time
• Supports opening files with the default system app
• Simpler deletion flow

• It is 10-15 times slower because of manually implemented file traversal. Not anymore, rewritten with jwalk.
• Does not have filtering functionality
• Not capable of marking multiple entries for deletion

• The UI is more "elegant" :)
• Shows a "full" space-taken bar for the largest entry. So there will always be at least one entry with a full bar. If dua-cli has two large entries of similar size, they will be shown as approximately 50% bars.
