AI Analysis
●MidShip It
Yet another self-hosted file manager competing with Nextcloud and FileBrowser.
Strengths
- •File permissions work across the filesystem, not just within app-managed folders
- •Docker deployment and direct JAR execution offer flexible installation options
Weaknesses
- •Crowded category with Nextcloud, FileBrowser, and others already well-established
- •No clear differentiation beyond 'simple setup' claim without novel technique

Post Description
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
