- Platform creep: CSV says Windows+macOS; the site markets Windows, macOS AND Android plus 'cleans your photo library on iPhone'.
- 'Weekend project turned into months of work' + domain registered 3 days before the first post.

r/software — I'm a solo dev from Turkey - I built a modern disk cleaner as an alternative to bloated tools by u/comfortable-taro-842
Carries the pricing disclosure ('Core features are completely free. PRO unlocks 20+ advanced tools for a one-time $19.90').
I built Disk Mop because existing disk cleaners felt either outdated, bloated, or way too expensive. — Problem statement
no subscriptions, ever — Virtue
I'd genuinely love your feedback. What would you improve or add? — Engagement hook
r/windowsapps — DiskMop - Let Your Computer Breathe by u/comfortable-taro-842
Canonical entry; the longest pitch with feature breakdown and the CCleaner/BleachBit comparison.
I'm a solo dev from Turkey. — Intro cliche
For years I used CCleaner, BleachBit, whatever — they all felt either stuck in 2010 or wanted a subscription for basic stuff. — Problem statement
What was supposed to be a weekend project turned into months of work. Turns out disk cleanup software touches a LOT of OS internals. — Intro cliche
I'd really like to hear what you think. What's missing? What would make you actually switch from whatever you're using now? — Engagement hook
