Not quite happy with the available disk usage analyzers and looking for a fun
project to get used to C programming, I started working on ncdu: A disk usage
analyzer with an ncurses interface, aimed to be run on a remote server where
you don't have an entire gaphical setup, but have to do with a simple SSH
connection. ncdu aims to be fast, simple and easy to use, and should be able
to run in any minimal POSIX-like environment with ncurses installed.
