I built a thing without Claude (feedback requested)
I figure this community is tired of seeing post after post about someone using Claude to build a Tauri app with a Rust backend and React frontend. (No flame, I did that too at one point, it was interesting and a different kind of fun). I also want to get better at writing clean and maintainable code, which is only going to happen by building things.
So I built mgfy: a small program for interacting with MongoDB from the command line. I find myself working with MondoDB quite a bit recently, and I'm constantly switching over to MongoDB Compass to look up things like collection names, field names, example documents, number of documents, etc. But my workflow is almost entirely in the terminal. So why not build a little tool for doing that from the terminal?
If you're willing to take a look at the code and provide feedback, I would love to hear it. Fill disclosure, I'm not a professional software developer. And since the code wasn't written with an LLM it is probably ugly in a uniquely human way. Hopefully that is a nice change of pace from all the AI (slop or otherwise).
