Search and replace in multiple files with regular expressions: https://www.abareplace.com

I continue to work on Aba Search and Replace, a tool for regex search and quick conversions (Base64, URL encoding, JSON Web tokens, timestamps to dates and vice versa). https://www.abareplace.com/
I continue to add more features to my search-and-replace tool for Windows (https://www.abareplace.com/). I initially built in for myself and it was one of the first incremental grep implementations (allowing you to see the results as you are typing the search pattern). Now it supports various formats like Base64, URL encoding, or timestamp conversions. With one-liners, you can add width/height attributes to <img> tags or insert file contents.

Plan to add more handy features in the next version.
Agreed, the lack of borders or indentation on the screenshots is very confusing. It's hard to understand what text comes from the malicious website and what is from the author.
Is it for iOS? Then, it could be the Swift runtime library.
Eevee is she, not he. See the website footer and the home page.
An old-school regex and text processing tool for web developers. Great for browsing source code, automating complex replacements, and decoding Base64, URL encoding, or Unix timestamps from your clipboard.
It helps to start blogging about things that are related to your product or interesting to your target audience. I got the first users by writing about text-processing tasks that you can do with regular expressions: https://www.abareplace.com/blog/
Exactly, not loading the whole file into memory works well only for hex editors.
Yep. BitBlt originally used complex 16-bit "operation codes" that store the binary operations in reverse Polish notation. Then, they added "operation index" that stores the same information in a byte, like in Amiga, which is shorter and more elegant. The coding is now redundant because each raster operation code contains both an operation index and an operation code. See https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20180528-00/?p=98...
If there is no application manifest, you will get Windows NT4 / Windows 9x style buttons. Just tested this on Windows 11.
booking.com natively supports this "email is authentication" pattern, so you even don't have to change your password and come up with a throw-away password. They just send you a link by email, you click the link, and you are logged in.
No, they won't get dark mode and this is the biggest problem for Win32 UIs now. If Microsoft would make dark mode available for classic Win32 apps, it would meet all requirements of the original poster.
Check out the Scrollbars series from Raymond Chen:

My app is around 500 KB (not megabytes) and it supports dark mode (see https://www.abareplace.com/). So this is definitely possible without using Electron or bloated GUI libraries.
Unfortunately, it does not load under Firefox
I'm working on a bulk search-and-replace tool for webmasters and developers that allows you to correct errors on your webpages, add width/height attributes to <img tags, convert all method names to lowercase/uppercase, insert a header with the filename and copyrights to each source code file, etc.
The CPU usage is around 30% when idle (not handling any HTTP requests) under Windows, so you won't want to keep this app running in background. Otherwise, it's a nice try.
This is length of a null-terminated string, e.g. lengthof("abc").
Thank you. Unfortunately, my experience is the same: it's hard to promote a software project on today's Internet without investing a lot of money or spending 4 hours/day on social media like the original poster did. There are many interesting projects like yours that remain invisible to their potential users.
You can afford not reading news only if you live in a democratic country with a stable economy, far from any conflict zones. In other parts of the world, you would miss information that you need for your survival.
The double quote (") is also broken. If you use it in the regex, then no DFA is displayed.
The web page hangs on the regular expressions that produce a DFA with a lot of states. For example, these ones:
(ab+c+)+
(abc){100}
a.*quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
Not ignoring, but taking it seriously without demagogy and trying to prove that 2+2 equals to five.
C and assembly language programming under Win32
I use ini files for my Windows application [1]. They are enough if you don't need multiple levels of nesting. The simpler the format is, the better.
When storing settings in config files, you can just copy the program folder to another computer and your settings will be transferred. This is called "a portable application" in the Windows world. When using the registry, you need to export the registry keys and import them, which makes it hard to backup all your apps with their settings or to set up multiple computers to use the same apps with the same settings.

You need to store the password on the iPhone in this case, which is insecure. The whole point of having the second-factor auth is using two separate devices: a computer stores the password (in a password manager) and a smartphone generates the TOTP codes.
[] is treated differently in JavaScript and in other regex engines
It's already solved in Google Sheets
