In plain words

Cleanup is a user interface application designed to erase hard disks as part of Lite Touch MDT installation processes. Launched in June 2022, it is hosted on GitHub. The tool is intended for users managing system deployments who need to wipe storage devices during installation workflows. It provides a UI-based approach to what might otherwise be command-line disk erasure operations.

    Instead of a traditional command-style CLI, it runs as a TUI in the terminal, allowing users to inspect cleanup targets before proceeding. On my macOS machines, caches and app data often take up more than 40% of disk usage. Manually cleaning them each time felt tedious, so I built this tool to make the process easier. While similar tools exist, I found it hard to quickly understand how items were categorized or how important each cleanup target was, so I built my own.

    A friend and I spent 6 years making a simulation game, finally released▲1,157

    I've seen some interests in (simulation) video games here on HN so I thought I'd share a short version of our story. More than 6 years ago, me and my friend from university were playing around with an idea of making a game we always wanted to play. We worked on it on weekends but the progress was quite slow, especially due to so many dead ends and wasted effort. Eventually however, we solidified our direction and decided to take the risk to resign from our well paid SWE jobs and work on it full time. It took more than a year but yesterday we have finally released it on Steam:…
