## Introduction

**RegexStudio** is an open-source regular-expression workbench that aims to make writing, understanding, debugging and sharing regex effortless through a modern UI and rich visualizations.

Beyond the basics like live matching and capture-group inspection, RegexStudio offers multiple visual perspectives — **railroad diagrams**, a **node-based editor**, and **plain-language explanations** — so you can understand any regex from every angle.

> 📝 The project is under active development.

## Contributing

Contributions of any kind are warmly welcomed — bug reports, feature suggestions, doc improvements and code patches all matter.

### How to Help

1. **Open an Issue**
   - 🐛 **Bug reports**: include reproduction steps, expected vs. actual behavior, and your environment
   - 💡 **Feature requests**: describe the use case and value
2. **Submit a Pull Request**
   1. Fork the repo and create a feature branch off `main`
   2. Run `pnpm check` before pushing to ensure lint and type-check pass
   3. Keep commit messages clear; we recommend [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/)
   4. In the PR description, explain the motivation, scope and how you tested
3. **Spread the Word**
   - Share RegexStudio in your projects, blog posts or social media
   - A ⭐ on the repo is the most direct encouragement to the maintainers

### Conventions

- Code style is enforced by **Biome** (lint + format)
- Use **functional components + Hooks**; avoid class components
- Prefer **Tailwind utility classes**; fall back to CSS only when needed
- Manage business state with Zustand; keep UI-local state in `useState` / `useReducer`
- For UI strings, add entries to `messages/en.json` and `messages/zh.json` and consume them via Paraglide
