Dear MongoDB Team,
I'm writing to provide feedback about MongoDB Compass interface changes. As a student learning MongoDB with 20+ classmates, we've noticed significant usability differences between versions.
Our Experience:
- We find MongoDB Compass version 1.43 (older version) more user-friendly than the current updated version
- The frontend/UI design was more intuitive and practical for learning purposes
- Specifically, the mongosh integration and button layout made database operations more accessible for beginners
Why the older version worked better for us:
1. More intuitive button placement and navigation
2. Better integration between GUI and mongosh commands
3. Clearer visual hierarchy for learning database concepts
4. More practical workflow for educational use cases
Request:
Could you consider:
- Bringing back some UI elements from version 1.43?
- Providing a "Classic Mode" option for educational institutions?
- Gathering more feedback from educational users before major UI changes?
We appreciate MongoDB Compass as a learning tool and hope this feedback helps improve the user experience for students and educators.
Best regards,
