Hovering over regex fragments

One visual enhancement that could be really helpful would be to hover over the regex or the match and see the reciprocal highlighted.

Also, sorry for this next suggestion because I just made you include it.

I know it's a lot of work but consider replacing regexper.com with https://jex.im/regulex

https://jex.im/regulex/#!flags=&re=%5E(a%7Cb)*%3F%24

Use the embed feature and your readers wouldn't have to click away to see the visualization.

@vezycash:

Would replacing regexr.com with https://scriptular.com/ help?

To be honest, I think regexr is more powerful and fully featured.

Sure, I can get behind this.

Use the embed feature …

I'm afraid this might be too distracting.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Test one or two embeds and ask readers to vote or comment?

Consider doing a test for this as well.
