Hey gang!

For a bit of learning I made a rubular.com clone using Phoenix + ES6
AngularJS. It's basically just a little regex scratchpad with quick
feedback.

It was good fun (especially the Elixir bits), and it's mostly done
now. I've stuck it on Heroku, perhaps someone might find it handy. :)

I don't know anything about graphic design, so I pinched colours +
fonts from the Elixir homepage. Let me know if you'd like them
changed.

Cheers,
Louis

I have used rubular.com a lot in the past so this looks very handy, thank you!

Just one very tiny suggestion. At the bottom, you have:

> Elixre is Free software, available under the GNU AGPL3 licence.

When I first read it, I read "Elixre" as "Elixir" and I was confused a bit. :) Maybe it could be better to style "re" in Elixre in bold or another color just to avoid potential confusion? It may be just me though...

Thanks!

Sure, no problem. I've made it bold and red. :)

Oh no... now you've done it :-).

You've gone and made the Elixre look like a logo. You should change the title at the top of the page so the trailing re is in red also.

:-) :-)

On a more serious note, since you've made your site explicitly to be a clone of Rubular.com, I think it would be nice to acknowledge that on your site and add a link back to the original.

Thanks guys! Really nice to get positive feedback.

I've credited and linked Rubular in the README file. I'll add it to
the site itself. :)

Cheers,
Louis
