I'm using Firefox 30 on Ubuntu. I think it's plenty modern :)

Reminds me of http://rubular.com/, except it isn't Ruby-focused and is more community-based. Seems pretty cool.

I'm guessing the following is either near-impossible or pure-impossible, but:

Is there a tool that allows you to highlight portions of a string and generate a corresponding regex? (i.e. the inverse of RegExr)

Regexp::Assemble kind of gets you there, you can feed it strings and it'll spit out a regex.

People just cannot do unicode even remotely properly. Just cannot.

𝄞 is one char, not two. привет is matched by \w+.

PS there's some advanced stuff but where is basic [[:posix:]] char classes?
