Better? This is absolutely awful if you have more than a handful of directories and files. It just shows the top directories and excludes everything that doesn't fit. Directory names are truncated if they don't fit so it's difficult to know what "ti[...]e/" is.. And you get this weird XXXXX lump for small files.
gdu is a slightly "nicer" looking ncdu and much faster than this.
Oh nice. gdu really is ncdu, just faster (on SSDs).

And if looking for Rust alternatives, there's dua.
Particularly user friendly when called in interactive mode with dua i, you can navigate the tree immediately as it populates and calculates space progressively.
I don't look for apps based on what language they're written in.
And I sure as hell don't install apps that use "curl" to fetch an install script and pipe it to a shell. This practice needs to die in a fire.
ncdu is df but interactive.
Don't you mean du?
Maybe. I always confuse them, get a sccreen full of output and then use the other.
Thank you!
