    Hi HN,

    We built Dustoff to solve a small but annoying problem that kept appearing across development environments.

    Modern JavaScript and TypeScript projects generate a lot of build artifacts such as node_modules, .next, dist, .cache, coverage and others. When you work across many repositories these directories accumulate quickly and can consume a lot of disk space.

    Dustoff scans a directory, detects common build artifacts, and lets you interactively browse, sort and safely remove them.

    The CLI allows you to: - sort artifacts by size or age - search and filter directories - group artifacts by project - select multiple entries quickly using keyboard navigation - delete them with confirmation

    You can run it instantly without installing anything:

    npx dustoff

    Curious to hear feedback from other developers and whether people run into similar cleanup issues across projects.
