This is pretty cool and well done, but I kind of wish there was no need for this to exist.
It seems that as the world progresses to higher level language, bit manipulations and binary calculation are the realm of dinosaurs.
This is great, thanks! I suggest putting a check all box at the top of each column. That's my 2 cents.
Great, I'll try to remember this to use it.
Now add an advanced mode for easy configuring setfacl :P

I actually stumbled across this on Google just yesterday and found it quite useful.
Now please add a full interactive explanation of Posix ACLs.
Easy to understand, really like the help walkthough style too. Nice job.
Thanks.
The walkthrough is made with intro.js

I love it, but it would be nice if it didn't break the back button every time you click on a checkbox.
It's the permalink.
Every time you click on a checkbox the permalink is change according to the permission, so its easier to copy the permalink. Therefore when you click the back button you're going to the previous state.
Do you think its not a good behavior?

When I click "back" I expect to return to a previous webpage. I don't expect to uncheck a checkbox.
edit: Actually it doesn't uncheck, it just changes the permalink as if I unchecked. Definitely not the expected behavior. (this is on FF31 Linux)

Neat. I suggest adding an explanation of what the special bits do (tooltip type of help on clicking the link?), as this is what's not obvious for most people.
Looks good, have been wanting something like this for a while. Bookmarked!
Also, love the use of .ninja domain - definitely most appropriate usage I've seen to date!

I didn't bookmarked it ;)
I didn't because i wrote a small command line utility to open the site with the right parameters.
You can also use it (instructions for ubuntu):
Copy the folowing to file with the name per:
#!/bin/bash
NC='\e[0m' # No Color
green='\e[0;32m'
blue='\e[0;34m'
if [ "$#" == "0" ]; then
echo "Usage: $0 filename" exit 1 fi
if [ "$#" != "1" ]; then
red='\e[0;31m'
echo -e "${red}$# Is illegal number of parameters.${NC}" exit 1 fi
usage(){
echo -e '\tper'
echo -e '\tOpen http://file-permissions.ninja with permission of the file.'
exit 1
}
if [ "$1" == "help" ] || [ "$1" == "-help" ] || [ "$1" == "-h" ] ; then
usage
fi
mode="`LC_ALL=C LANG=C /bin/ls -ld "$1" | LC_ALL=C LANG=C awk '{ print $1 }'`" || exit $?
echo -e "${blue}Opening: ${green}http://file-permissions.ninja/#$mode${NC}"
xdg-open 'http://file-permissions.ninja/#'$mode &> /dev/null
exit 0
# EOF ----------------------------------
Move per to folder within the path.
Let's say:
sudo mv per /bin
Now grant it execute permission:
sudo chmod +x /bin/per
Now you can use it with:
per filename
it's supposed to open the site with the permissions of filename.

It needs to add numpad keys to it's whitelist. Currently I can't use the numpad in the input boxes.
Yeah, same problem here. At first I thought he had skipped out on allowing you to type the mask, which is the killer feature of a utility like this.
Also, when typing into the binary input, it isn't updating immediately on key-up like the rest of the inputs -- I'm having to hit the arrow keys to get it to update.
Nice utility, though!

You two both right :(
I don't use numpad keys so i forgot to add them to the whitelist.
And yes - there is a small bug with the binary input. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
I'll fix these two issues!
