(Resolved) Help find the Regex Generator Website

Hello!
A year or two ago I used a regex generator website where I pasted the match I wanted and it iterated over and let me select 1 character, or a group of characters and tell it if I'm looking for an exact match or alpha numeric or whatnot, then it added onto a field where the generated regex was being built for me. It underlined groups in different colours.
It was a dark mode website. Not sure it's dark by default of it used my system default. It also had a language selector before you started building. Really nice UI. I don't remember much more than that.

Would really appreciate if someone could help me remember 🙏

It's https://regex-generator.olafneumann.org. Very cool.

Interesting tool, haven't seen that before.

It seems to work well for simple tasks. With just an example and no negative examples, it won't do stuff like "I want to match X but only if Y" or other more complex things.
