## Motivation and Project Description

Currently, there are no easy ways of managing MongoDB servers from multiple devices. You have to download

a client made specifically for the platform you're using. This isn't convenient, as it doesn't only require

having to find a good client, but also waiting for it to install and having to re-add your servers on every

device.

It would be great if managing MongoDB servers was doable through a web interface, using nothing but your

web browser alone. But then comes the question: is it really a good idea to store all your connection

strings on a remote server? What if someone maliciously gains access to the database and manages to decrypt

your connection strings? Having a centralized user database also means they are prone to getting their

accounts compromised if they don't secure their account well enough.

This is where WebMongo comes into play. WebMongo is a web application that allows you to have your own,

decentralized database of MongoDB servers without having to deploy anything to your server at all. Instead

of storing your connection strings in a remote database, it stores them on your device using

[localStorage](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/localStorage). You can then export

your data to an encrypted file using a passphrase and import this file on a different device. You can use

WebMongo to list, edit, or delete your documents from an infinite number of servers, or create new ones.

## Tech

WebMongo is a [Sapper](https://sapper.svelte.dev/) application that uses [Express](https://expressjs.com/)

and the [official MongoDB Node.js driver](https://github.com/mongodb/node-mongodb-native) to process your

queries and requests. It deploys to [Vercel](https://vercel.com/) automatically. For storing your

servers/connection strings, WebMongo uses your browser's `localStorage`.

## Deploying your own instance

You can learn how to deploy your own instance of WebMongo here: https://webmongo.now.sh/docs/deployment.html

## Planned Features and TODOs

- [x] feat: Add, change, and remove collections

- [x] feat: Lock list of servers/connection strings with a password (similarly to how exporting works)

- [ ] todo: Write better user guide
