VisuaLeaf – A Modern MongoDB Workspace
Visualeaf is a MongoDB GUI I’ve been building over the past year. Stack is Electron + Angular + Spring Boot. There’s a live playground on the site if you want to try it without installing or putting in your connection (I provided one). The goal was to combine a visual workflow with the depth needed for real development work. Most existing MongoDB tools tend to optimize for either beginners or power users, but not both in the same interface. Core features: Query builder that supports full MongoDB query expressiveness + being able to drag and drop elements from the collection to the query…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Visualeaf is a MongoDB GUI I’ve been building over the past year. Stack is Electron + Angular + Spring Boot. There’s a live playground on the site if you want to try it without installing or putting in your connection (I provided one). The goal was to combine a visual workflow with the depth needed for real development work. Most existing MongoDB tools tend to optimize for either beginners or power users, but not both in the same interface. Core features: Query builder that supports full MongoDB query expressiveness + being able to drag and drop elements from the collection to the query builder Form based aggregation builder with synchronized JSON view Schema visualization and generation tools GridFS viewer with MP4 streaming support (streaming mp4 was pretty tricky ) IDE style split panels and multiple workspaces Import/export transformations (mask/edit fields during export ) Tree view ( finding a way to expand recursively thousands of nodes was a challenge) Table view (I had to build my own take on AG Grid focusing on optimizing horizontal and virtual scrolling to get it to scroll smoothly on thousands of rows and columns) A lot of the work ended up being performance engineering. It currently loads ~500MB of data into the UI in about 5 seconds on an M1 MacBook. And can even easily display over 20k documents of an average size (12kb) . Here’s a walkthrough of all its features:: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNzvDlbpGTk Happy to answer questions! Thank you so much!

One year ago I open-sourced my very first 'real' project and shared it here. I was a college student in my senior year and desperately looking for a job. At the time of sharing it i couldn't even afford a domain and naively let someone buy the one i had my eyes on lol. It's been a hell of a year with this blowing up, me moving to another country, and switching 2 jobs. In a year we somehow managed to hit 26k stars, grow a 1000+ person discord community, and support 37 languages. I couldn't be more grateful for the community that helped this grow, but now i don't know what direction to take…

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
