RegexOne

I find it hard to appreciate the need for this website. First, after scrolling down to the bottom of the page, I still couldn't see where I could "start". I clicked the only prominent button featured on the page, "Product Hunt", and that took me to a clearly unrelated website. So after 30+ seconds of browsing it still wasn't clear to me where the product was. Compare that with https://regexone.com/ . No fluff. I immediately know what I'm looking at and am given a simple practice problem, with a place to type smack in the middle of the page, and a responsive green coloring when I get something right. The problems advance to exactly the kind of stuff I need, with a quick view on all the lessons on the right-hand side. I'm visiting that website for the n^th time because I need to quickly refresh my regex to accomplish a task.

Regexper

I am a huge, huge fan of https://regexper.com/ - paste pretty much any regex, and it will generate a visualization of what it does. It's been invaluable even just as a sanity check, it just makes it so easy to trace the flow of what a pattern is doing.

RegexBuddy

At first glance this looks like software that’s a bit dated and nothing special, but try to use it just once and tell me if you don’t agree it’s freaking awesome when do you want to create an expression or get a feel for exactly how it’s working. I have no affiliation with these guys, I’ve just been impressed over the years https://regexbuddy.com.
