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

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

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.

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.

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

Install:

cargo install ffscan

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

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

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!
