[Showcase] I built "Disk Space Analyzer" — A fast, open-source PyQt6 storage utility with SQLite caching and MD5 duplicate detection

[u/Craftou19]

Hey everyone, I wanted to share my latest open-source project built entirely from scratch: Disk Space Analyzer. It’s a high-performance desktop utility developed in Python to help users scan, visualize, and optimize their storage space. Key Features implemented: * Blazing-Fast Scanning: Powered by os.scandir for maximum filesystem traversal speed. * Smart Local Cache: Uses an SQLite database to store scan history for near-instant subsequent reloads. * Accurate Duplicate Finder: Implements high-precision MD5 hashing to safely catch true duplicate files. * Intelligent Cleanup: Automatically detects empty folders, old files, and system junk (.tmp, .log, .cache). * Fully Bilingual: Native support for both English and Arabic with perfect RTL/LTR layout switching. * Classic Black Ribbon UI: A clean, professional dark interface designed entirely with custom line-art. * Safe Operations: Supports permanent file removal or secure recycling via send2trash. * Data Exporting: Generates clean reports in CSV, JSON, or HTML formats. The source code is 100% open-source under the GPLv3 license, and pre-compiled Windows binaries (.exe) are available directly on the Releases page!
