Taming the Regex Beast: Building a Clean API with Gemini and Express JS
TLDR I built an open-source API called Readable Regex that lets you do common string manipulation tasks (like validating emails or extracting numbers) with simple API calls, and with no complex regex required! Gemini helped me generate a lot of the code (a lot of which I didn’t want to write yet again from scratch), handle tricky stuff like URL encoding, and even write this article. It was a super cool experience that showed me how AI can make coding faster, easier, and more fun. Check out the code on GitHub: https://github.com/drewg2009/readableRegex and try out the demo here. (PS: Gemini helped write this article, so give it a high-five!
