Free open-source cross-platform file & directory statistics as found on Github

I have personally replaced crossdirstat with ncdu for the most part, so major features are not planned, but I will update the Electron version occasionally. See below for features, installation and why I made crossdirstat all those years ago.

• Generate a directory tree for any given folder
• View any folder as colored rectangles (squarified algorithm)
• Customize the rectangle colors and show statistics about filetypes
• Export the tree as JSON with sizes and file/folder counters
• Export the rectangle view as JSON, SVG or PNG
• Easy start screen with sane default settings

Download a stable installer or executable for your platform from the github releases page.

Clone/download the latest source and run npm install and npm start.

Create your own build with node build, see node build --help for other options.

There are lots of other similar programs, such as KDirStat, QDirStat and WinDirStat. A couple of my reasons for creating another one:

• KDirStat and QDirStat don't look pretty on my system
• KDirStat needs tons of KDE dependencies
• QDirStat colors the files per category instead of filetype
• WinDirStat is only available on Windows
• I like to have lots of export options
• Creating my own alternative is a nice project and gives me the chance to make a version which suits my needs

All the alternatives are great programs, but none of them are a perfect fit for me.
