A web regex visualiser with PCRE2https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1wcezxw/a_web_regex_visualiser_with_pcre2

Author here. The interesting part is how it's built. The whole engine is PCRE2 compiled to WASM, ~92 KB over the wire, and no roundtrips to the server. Probably has a few bugs I haven't found out yet :) The PCRE2 engine compiles the pattern with callouts enabled which inserts a callout before every item,and each callout carries the source offset and length of the item that follows it. The visualisations are based on capturing the callout data. You can try it here: https://roundtoe.com/regexray PS. just noticed the post shows the social card for the site, any way to suppress that? submitted by…

Show HN: Community curated list of 310 AI providers offering $4.3k free creditshttps://www.uprouter.online

Hey people! I have been compiling a directory of AI API providers which provide a combined total of $4.3k in free API credits and I'm super proud of it so far.

The directory also allows you to link all 310 API providers, to create one OpenAI- and Claude-compatible gateway then route any model, through any vendor - via a single URL with failover aliases, daily spend caps and per-req…
