Description
This is an ncdu clone written in Rust that I figured others might find useful! The main things that differentiate it from ncdu are: - It's very fast. In my benchmarks it's often twice as fast. - It allows you to send files to trash rather than permanently delete.Please try it out and lmk if I can improve on anything!

Could you build this?
Yes A terminal UI disk usage tool in Rust utilizing standard cross-platform file walking (e.g., `walkdir` or `jwalk`), Ratatui for rendering, and the `trash` crate is a well-scoped project an AI assistant can scaffold directly.
