    Leaves – A text-UI disk usage treemap visualizer▲93

    GUI disk analyzers are great for figuring out what's filling up your laptop/desktop drive. On containers or remote servers, the options are limited to purely text based utilities (e.g. du) or list-centric TUIs (e.g. ncdu) which are usually limited to viewing one directory at a time. I created leaves to fill that gap. Inspired by classic utilities like WinDirStat and KDirStat, it uses a 2-dimensional treemap^1 visualization to show the entire directory hierarchy with proportionally sized rectangles.

    Hi HN! I made this after collecting hundreds of "name → tree" submissions at ITP. Live: https://landscape.bairui.dev/ Source: https://github.com/pearmini/infinite-landscape Plant a tree: https://tree.bairui.dev/ Pan and zoom an infinite procedural landscape. Each name is converted to ASCII codes, which grow into a unique tree (breadth-first branching; repeated digits become mathematical roses). Mountains use midpoint displacement + Perlin noise, with SVG radial gradients in the blue/green/gold palette from Wang Ximeng's "A Thousand…
