Show HN: Filemat – an open-source web-based file manager

Hello HN,

I would like to share Filemat, a web-based file manager that I built because I wanted something with a simple setup and file permissions that work across the filesystem (as opposed to permissions only for a folder managed by the app).

It's self-hosted and open-source (currently in beta).

I'd be happy to hear your feedback

I'd personally just use copyparty, but this does seem to have a different feature set that probably makes it a better fit for some uses

Sorry I don't understand this. What filesystem are you using?

Does it conform to Orthodox file manager specs? http://www.softpanorama.org/OFM/

Web based file manager. I think I've seen everything now.

Anyhow - good luck, I bet there are people who want this.

I mean, I've been shopping for a GUI file manager for a bucket, so I can collab with some non-technical people.
