My first Open Source Project in Rust

:hammer_and_wrench: project

I built a Rust CLI tool to find large files & memory-hogging apps — would love your feedback!

Hey everyone! :waving_hand:
I recently built and published my first open source Rust CLI tool called ffscan

:magnifying_glass_tilted_left: What it does:

  • Lists large files in your system so you can free up disk space.
  • Shows currently running processes that consume a lot of memory.

:crab: Why I made it:
I wanted to practice Rust for systems programming and create something genuinely useful for devs who often run low on disk space or want to find memory hogs quickly.

:white_check_mark: It’s open source, MIT-licensed, and published on crates.io:
Crates.io: https://crates.io/crates/ffscan
GitHub: https://github.com/swap72/ffscan

:package: Install:

cargo install ffscan

I’d love feedback from the Rust community — ideas, bug reports, feature suggestions, or just general thoughts are all welcome!

:star: If you find it useful, please consider starring the repo — it really helps get more eyes on my first open source project.

:fork_and_knife: Feel free to fork it, open issues, or send pull requests — contributions of any size are super appreciated!

Thanks so much for checking it out and helping me make it better! :folded_hands::crab::sparkles:

  • Your code appears to be broken due to unresolved merge conflict markers in the source files.
  • You normally want to exclude the target directory from the git repository, since git is meant to manage source code, not binaries built for a specific target.
  • Your license file has a duplicate suffix, resulting in GitHub not recognizing it as a license file.
