Hi Hunters, RegExplainer is a toy project I built to try the explanatory capabilities of Codex. Regex are good indicators because they can get fairly complicated and still are structured enough for precise descriptions of a medium level of abstraction. They are also the building blocks of many real-life technical rules while being obscure to everyone except software engineers. Being able to give a precise explanation of what they do is thus an interesting challenge. Some of the answers can be slightly wrong or even sometime non-sensical but I was surprised by the overall quality of the explanations on complex regex. This is also my first submission on ProductHunt as I am trying to better know this wonderful community. - Emmanuel
