mongo-parse VS pgress

I basically did this for tixit.me with mongo. I even wrote a module to parse mongo queries on the frontend so we could query our cache identically to our back end. https://github.com/fresheneesz/mongo-parse

It was a pretty big pain to write the middle ware necessary to make this happen. So I kind of agree.

Hey Marco, I'll take a look - filters theoretically should be fast, when you create a new filter, it simply reads does a `select * from table limit 1` to get column names

I wasn't sure whether you could query DBs directly from the browser but looks like you can! (https://github.com/alexanderguy/pgress) - will add it to roadmap!

I had fun with a similar concept: just access the database from the browser using nginx/TLS/lua: https://github.com/alexanderguy/pgress

If you're good with your authenticated users directly talking to the DB (which there are plenty of uses for), it's a great way to get your data into the browser.
