Current Workflow Pain Points: To debug or work on a query (e.g. this query: db.collection("user").find({name: "bob"}).sort({date: -1})), I currently need to perform multiple steps: 1. Locate and select the relevant collection (which opens a new tab). 2. Enter {name: "bob"} in the query field manually. 3. Open the "Options" dropdown to find the sort field. 4. Enter {date: -1} in the sort field. 5. Click "Find" to execute the query. This process is cumbersome and time-consuming for frequent query modifications or debugging. Proposed Solution: Add a real-time, free-text query interface aimed at advanced users would significantly improve the experience. This feature could: * Automatically re-run the query upon any modifications, streamlining the trial-and-error debugging process. * Support additional functions like .distinct() or other MongoDB operations without requiring cumbersome conversions from .find() to .aggregate() queries. While using the MongoDB shell is a potential workaround, it lacks user-friendliness for live query editing and experimentation. A more intuitive interface would greatly enhance productivity and flexibility.
