[Media] Oweka: a fast TUI tool to clean up target, node_modules, venv, etc.

Hey y'all!

I noticed that folders like node_modules, target, venv, etc., spread over dozens of old projects, were taking up almost 200GB on my machine!

As a result, I decided to make oweka, taking inspiration from npkill, which I found a bit slow (and incompatible with target/venv/etc.).

Features:

  • Extremely performant and optimized (at least on Linux)
  • Accurate: only flags directories if certain requirements are met, e.g. a Cargo.toml in the same location

Repo: https://github.com/ByteAtATime/oweka

Installation instructions are in the readme; you can also run it without installing with npx oweka!
