To all the programmers out there: RegExr.com is a site that lets you build and test regular expressions. Made me understand them when I was starting out.

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/InternetIsBeautiful

Our great sponsors
  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • RegExr

    RegExr is a HTML/JS based tool for creating, testing, and learning about Regular Expressions.

  • I always include a link to the regexr.com near non-trivial regular expressions in my code. This makes way easier to understand and modify regexp later.

  • JS Bin

    Collaborative JavaScript Debugging App

  • There's also a place to test your javascript, if you're interested.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • libphonenumber

    Google's common Java, C++ and JavaScript library for parsing, formatting, and validating international phone numbers.

  • The thing about the "simple" use cases like phone numbers is that they're often trickier than they seem (phone numbers from which country? With dashes or without? With country code or not?), so I'd probably just wind up reaching for something like libphonenumber.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
