I've been a developer for over a decade, and if there's one thing I've learned, it's that our hard drives are basically landfills for build artifacts.
A few weeks ago, I was down to 2GB free on my main SSD. Not because I had tons of important files — but because I had years worth of node_modules folders, .next build caches, dist directories, and other junk scattered across dozens of old projects.
I tried reclaiming space manually. You know the drill — du -sh to find the culprits, then rm -rf them one by one. It works, but it's tedious. I tried npkill — it only handles node_modules. I tried wipe-modules — same limitation. I wanted something that could find everything at once and let me pick what to delete in one go.
So I built ZapDir.
What is ZapDir?
