ts-remove-unused – Remove unused code from your TypeScript project
ts-remove-unused is a command line tool for TypeScript projects that auto-fixes unused `export`s. It removes the export keyword from the declaration or the whole declaration based on its usage in the project. There are some similar tools but they are focused on "detecting" rather than "removing" so I've built one myself. I wanted a solution that's as minimal as possible; config files to specify the files in your project shouldn't be necessary because that info should be already configured in tsconfig.json. All you need to do is to specify your entrypoint file. Feedback is much appreciated!

In plain words
ts-remove-unused is a command-line tool that automatically removes unused exports from TypeScript projects. Rather than just detecting unused code, it actively deletes the export keyword from declarations or removes them entirely based on actual usage across the project. It's designed for TypeScript developers who want minimal configuration, relying on existing tsconfig.json settings instead of requiring separate config files. Users only need to specify their project's entry point to run the tool.

Talanoa▲341Hi 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…
