Products that do what MightyGrep does

A program I used stopped getting updates, so I made my own version of it. It's a fast plaintext search utility in a GUI. It's great for finding text in code projects, log files, configs, anything plaintext! Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Free version limitations are a splash screen and limited history entries.

    My book on "GNU grep and ripgrep" is free to download today and tomorrow [1][2] Code snippets, example files and sample chapters are available on GitHub [3] The book uses plenty of examples and regular expressions are also covered from scratch. The book is suitable for beginners as well as serves as a reference. Hope you find it useful, I would be grateful for your feedback and suggestions. I used pandoc+xelatex [4] to generate the pdf.

    After fine-tuning GPT for a personal project, I realized how tedious it is to write plain text in a massive JSON file. That's why I built this app for my own use, and I want to see if others could benefit from a tool like this as well ;)
