Purge Modules

What it does

A Command-Line utility made to helps developers trace, select and remove unwanted development folders on their system (node_modules, venv etc). Built using Go's (Golang) concurrency for speed and BubbleTea for the TUI.

Discard dependency directories from your system (node_modules, venv etc.) - waleedbinalim/purge-modules

Purge Modules is a fast, concurrent CLI utility helping devs reclaim their disk space. It can seek and remove directories such as node_modules or venv folders across their projects. If you work on multiple repositories, it's easy to forget about the gigabytes of unused dependencies. Purge Modules makes it easy to locate them, check disk usage, and clean them up from an interactive TUI. Software engineers like me would often work between multiple projects and forget about old dependency folders. Over time these can consume a chunk of your disk memory. Building this, I found 8GB worth of node_modules going "Whaaa? I forgot to delete that". With Purge Modules, hope it helps you discover where…from github.com

  Talanoa▲345

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  Clipto MCP▲655

  Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
