Show HN: I built a TUI that dissolves Git branches away in Thanos style (github.com)

Hi

I am Armen.

I built deadbranch - a Rust CLI/TUI for safely cleaning stale git branches. Uses ratatui for the TUI.

Main feature in v0.3.0: when you delete branches, they dissolve in a Thanos-style particle effect (Flash -> Dissolve -> Settle). Branch deletions run in a background thread so the UI stays responsive.

Why a TUI for this? It is safer by default (only deletes merged branches, protects main/master/dev/stage), lets you preview deletions, has fuzzy search/vim navigation and has fun UI features.

Would appreciate feedback!
