- Magnitude: 2.1 out of 10 — Steady
- Stars: 38 total · +0 stars measured 2026-10-06, 15:56–17:41 UTC, ≈ 1 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic
- Category: Developer tools · Language: Zig · Created: 2026-10-04 · Last push: 2026-10-04

## Useful for

- Find large files and directories on a remote server without a GUI
- Check what is taking up disk space over an SSH session
- Build and install the tool from source using make

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-06 (UTC), 15:56–17:41: 38 → 38 stars (+0). This is the change over that interval.
- The repository is 2 days old and already has 38 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Hacker News: “Ncdu: An Updated Fork” — 20 points, 1 day ago.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 1
- Issues and pull requests: 3
- Watchers: 1
- Average over the last week: 12 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 0

## Stars per day, last 3 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

2026-10-04 … 2026-10-06: 22, 13, 0

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
