Very fun idea! Got way too invested and spend more time than I wanted to, but go there in the end:D I use MongoDB somewhat regularly, but I mostly have to ask GPT for help regarding the syntax.
A couple of suggestions: - Gamify it a bit, add a timer or similar to make it speedrunable - Add some auto-completion, e.g. automatically adding a set of brackets or quotes. Or suggest commands like find, sort, etc, as you type. Similar to what you would find in MongoDB Compass
Ahh yes, thanks for giving it a shot! I had someone else also wished they had timed themselves so adding a timer is in the works.
Glad you mentioned Compass, I'm browsing through their GitHub and codemirror for autocomplete looks promising; I'll explore this option further.
Cheers
