Hey IH —
Forge Regex pitch today: describe a pattern in plain English, get working regex with live testing.
I’ve been saying “ChatGPT + regex101 in one tab.” Curious if that’s crisp or lazy.
Developers who need regex occasionally and hate relearning syntax — not regex golf experts.
Which one-liner would make you click? And what’s the first objection you’d have?
That’s the distinction I was missing. “In one tab” describes the UI, not why you’d switch — easy to read as glue between two tools you already have.
The fear isn’t “is this valid regex.” It’s shipping a pattern you only eyeballed. I’ll lead with the check: #3 as the headline, and keep the ChatGPT + regex101 line as a footnote for people who already live in that loop.
"ChatGPT + regex101 in one tab" is clear, but it frames you as the glue between two tools people already have — easy to dismiss. "AI regex you can verify immediately" names the real pain: nobody distrusts regex syntax, they distrust patterns they can't check before shipping. Lead with the check.
