Yeah, thanks. I expect this will be some “interesting” bits in there. It was written in a few hours last year out of immediate necessity :)

Awesome that you ported to haXe! Is it public anywhere?

Hi.

Thank you for sharing this!
I needed something like that, and I made a port to haXe.
I noticed a couple of “mistakes” (don’t qualify as bugs, as it just works as it is).

1) The method parseHashtags does in fact parse usernames
2) The method parseUsernames, on the other hand, does parse hashtags.

Also, I checked Twitter’s own parser, and the parsed hashtags maintain the # character in the search link.
