It's technologically cool, but I would love a "why" section in the README. Is the idea you're a mongo Dev/love the mongo api and want to use it rather than switch to pg apis? Or want to copy some code over from an old project?

I'm sure there are use cases, I'm just struggling to grasp them. Especially if it's about reusing queries from other projects, AI is pretty good at that

Good at what? Rewriting the queries?

I think the point of Pongo is you can use the exact same queries for the most part and just change backends.

I've worked a job in the past where this would have been useful (they chose Mongo and regretted it).

For sure, but it feels really risky. If it's a small codebase, I would be more confident knowing what queries I was using and just switch them. If it's a large codebase, I'd want some really comprehensive test coverage, including performance tests

Good call! I added such a section: https://github.com/event-driven-io/Pongo?tab=readme-ov-file#.... I'd be interested in your thoughts on it.

nice!
