Comments and Reviews
It's fast and well-designed. Namely...
I use it for regular expression testing more than any other solution I've found. What's more, it works like a quick notepad, or an extensive, complicated regular expression IDE. The only thing I miss is the old Adobe Air desktop version.
I need a darn magnifying glass
RegExr is good for javascript validation
didn't see this in the other alternatives I looked into
makes understanding regex a little bit easier
Also, it lets you share regex snippets as well to other people
THere's even a community library of common regex commands for things like searching for phone numbers in a large amount of text
Very useful way to learn regex
Suggest looking into their 1:30 second tutorial briefing all the features: https://youtu.be/fOH62XXGdLs
EDIT
Some of the community examples aren't working though, I am not sure whether its the regex statements that are faulty or if the platform itself has problems.
Example, the URLparser example does not having matching criteria when you add more dummy text data
