I really, really wanted to like this but it just misses the mark in too many ways.

I've used Regex for decades so I wasn't impressed to discover useful functions gated behind a "do it the hard way first" system

Who then decided to not sync the scrolling - WHY WOULD YOU NOT DO THAT!?

Who decided to use a non-fixed-space font and/or not offer some highlighted for whitespace?????!

The puzzles go south really quickly too - I think it's the 4th puzzle in (the Heart) which starts the rot - it's impossible to see spaces, \s behaves erratically (removing carriage returns 'sometimes??'

In the end the solution is a mix of "counting characters" and guessing - zero sense of satisfaction in that - and the puzzles generally fall into "way too easy" and "fiddly and awkward".

Note: I also notice questions and issues in discussions are met with "we've asked a developer to take a look at that" and no response ever comes back - so we can assume it's dead at this point and therefore it's a "Not Recommended" from me
