Online (browser) version of Mingo

[tothradoslav]

It is not possible to connect to MongoDB directly from a browser. It is only possible using NodeJS features. This is why an electron app is handy. However, it would be possible to create a browser version with online login. Here is the list of cons / pros.

Pros:

• no need to download and install the app
• always using the latest version
• available everywhere
• no Operating System related issues - it's unified

Cons:

• security: all data flow through Mingo's servers, which imposes a security question. This can be solved by end-to-end encryption
• performance: it is almost impossible to estimate the load it would take on our servers
• how to connect to localhost connections?
