Who is this for? People who write lots of regular expressions won't need it because they know what they're doing and people who don't write lots of regular expressions probably won't find it anyway.

It just seems like a weird type of user who actually wants this.

I almost never use regex, but when I do, I'd love something like this. Exactly because I don't use regex enough to be bothered learning it's impenetrable syntax.

I just learned to type what I want from a regex in chatgpt and call it a day. It works pretty well.

Also fuck regex.
