I hated Regex so much that I made iHateRegex.io

Geon George - Jan 31 '20 - - Dev Community

In years of being a developer I never really spent the time to learn regular expressions. It always seemed like a hard nut to crack.

I used to spend so much time trying to find regular expressions for my use case.

now you have two problems

Enter iHateRegex.io

https://iHateRegex.io

It is a simple tool that will show a visual graph as well as matches and highlighting for code.

Hope you like the tool :D
