I’m an IT graduate who loves design. I just launched my first tool (RegexMind) on a custom domain, and I need your brutal feedback

Hey everyone!

After spending weeks fine-tuning the code and obsessing over micro-interactions, I finally hit "publish" on my very first project with a custom domain: https://regexmind.com

I have an IT background, but I've always been secretly in love with the creative side of web design. I noticed that so many developer tools out there are incredibly powerful under the hood, but they often look a bit cluttered or intimidating for beginners.

So, I built RegexMind. The goal is simple: you paste a messy regular expression, and the tool breaks it down into clear, beautiful, plain English. No guessing games.

Why I need your help:
Since I’m a big fan of clean layouts, subtle hover effects, and smooth user experiences, I tried to keep the design as focused and distraction-free as possible (dark mode with some neon accents).

However, as an indie hacker, I know it's easy to get too close to your own code and lose objectivity. That's why I’m here. I would love to get your honest, friendly, but brutal feedback:

What should I add? Are there features you feel are missing for a Regex visualizer?
What should I remove? Is anything confusing or cluttered?
How does the UI feel? Do the animations and layout make sense to you?
I'm super excited (and a little nervous) to share this with the community. Thank you so much for your time and support. Let me know what you think!
