Description
SpaceSharp is a free, open-source disk space analyzer for Windows inspired by SpaceMonger. Scan any drive or folder and explore your storage through an interactive, zoomable treemap. Find large files, filter by name, type, size or age, view storage by file type, measure actual size on disk, detect hard links, and safely remove files through the Recycle Bin.

Could you build this?
Partial The UI and treemap visualization can be assembled, but writing a high-performance Windows disk scanner that handles file permissions, hard links, and massive directories requires low-level Win32 systems programming.
What it would actually take: A responsive disk analyzer requires C#/C++ or Rust leveraging low-level Win32 APIs (e.g., directly querying the NTFS USN Journal rather than recursive filesystem scans) and memory-efficient treemap tiling algorithms (Squarified Treemap). Deep understanding of filesystem internals, sparse files, and parallel IO is essential to prevent desktop freezing during scans.
