Show HN: Mongo DB management and GUI, built using Electron
- cjbprime 11y agoLooks good! There are some "apps built with Electron" lists you could add this to (like the one on the frontpage of electron.atom.io).
- timofficer 11y agoyea great idea, thanks! I'll submit a PR and see if the Electron guys will add it.
- accraze 11y agoawesome work!.... no more robomongo :)
- impostervt 11y agoGreat name.
- timofficer 11y agothanks!
- mattetre 11y agoLove it, this is awesome!
- skimmas 11y agoseems the edit document is not implemented yet. Other than that would start using this today. great little project.
- timofficer 11y agoyea edit document is a very new feature I'm just starting to work on, one of the last couple of things I'm hoping to finish up before a v1 release.
- virmundi 11y agoDamn it! Someone make a manager called Sheriff Bart. Mongo loves Sheriff Bart.
- whorleater 11y agoHuh, the darwin build triggers Chrome's built in malicious file protection.
- gmmeyer 11y agoOSX doesn't even let me open it.
- pbreit 11y agoctrl-double-click or ctrl-right-click > open
- timofficer 11y agoyup exactly right, for now you'll have to do this until we do a real release of the app and codesign it Apple
- sergiotapia 11y agoCan this connect to remote databases? I would love to use this to connect to my Meteor app's database.
- timofficer 11y agoabsolutely you can connect to remote database. In the connection manager (cmd-o) click the 'Create' button, enter the remote address to your database in the host field and the port, username, password etc.. let me know if you have any issues
- ivanceras 11y agoHow do projects like this gets funded?
- lgas 11y agoWhat makes you think there is funding involved?
- ivanceras 11y agoI have something similar to this, that I haven't opensourced it yet. I'm thinking of ways to get funding when I opensource the project. Here's what it looks like https://curtain-ui.herokuapp.com/?/new https://curtain-ui.herokuapp.com/?/new
- timofficer 11y agoyea no funding for this project at the moment, just something I've been working on in my spare time.
- contrahax 11y agoI made something similar a while ago (pre-electron): https://github.com/contra/smog https://github.com/contra/smog I published some modules along with it that made the process a lot easier. Maybe you can use some of them to make your life easier with mongotron :) Editing/inserting documents was a pain but it's all there if you want to yank it.
- btzll 11y ago150mb? Am I the only one who thinks the size is ridiculous? That's what you get when you build desktop applications using web technologies.
- timofficer 11y agoYea that's definitely a down side to using Electron. Looks like around 130mb is the expected size for an Electron app. https://github.com/atom/electron/issues/2003 https://github.com/atom/electron/issues/2003
- timofficer 11y agoalthough looking at the Slack app (which is built on Electron) it's only 18mb, so maybe I just need to look into slimming down the build.
