Discussion on: What are some Regular Expression concepts you find hard to grok?

I made a tool that helps me with that:
sloppy-regex.netlify.app

It can generate matching strings from a regex, or build a regex that would match the provided test strings. The regex and input strings are being tested against the libpcre2 library, which I cross-compiled into a WebAssembly binary.

I think, I'm going to write a post about it 🤔
