Show HN: RegexGo – Regex Generator from Examples (regexgo.com)

You can enter strings to match/not match and the generator will spit out an according regex. It's not 100% accurate, but I feel like this could still be useful in at least getting a starting point when initially trying to make a regex?

RegexGo is currently not supported on mobile clients, please access from a desktop.

That's a shame.

At least show a screen cap so we can see the desktop view

Updated to show a screen cap for now!

Yup my bad, I didn't think anyone would be interested in regex tweaking on mobile and got too lazy updating the frontend to be good for a mobile workflow. Will update to not just have this text soon!

Not bad. Perhaps your strategy for repeated arguments could default faster to * or +, but the few examples I tried were good and readable.
