Show HN: Best Chmod Calculator Ever (stupid Simple)

Octal modes aren't necessary anymore, chmod has symbolic modes. And "man chmod" is there to help if you forget. I think this is solving the problem "I don't understand octal" more than helping with using chmod.

Its an alright resource for people learning chmod. Id also include all the r+w format too

Just wonder where defaulting to -R 777 is a good idea for people learning chmod? They might run and chmod the whole directory on their first attempt

Any feedback on it? Anything missing?

It was just launched, looking to improve it :)

Don't push state every time I make a change. It might be the "right" thing to do, but it's annoying that my back-button doesn't work when I've just been fiddling with switches on your page.

Maybe try to get some more prosaic descriptions on the most popular mods? Like: "777, the one you go for after trying everything to make your files readable on windows throught samba, and it still doesn't work"... ;)

Long tooltips are kinda hard to read: https://vgy.me/51Vv2R.png

I love it
