RexHeal – Modern healer frames for World of Warcraft

RexHeal is a lightweight healer frame addon focused on clarity, efficiency, and modern API compatibility.
The project was created with the goal of providing a performant and flexible healing UI suitable for dungeon and raid content while remaining easy to configure and extend.

Development is driven by close community collaboration and additionally supported by AI-assisted workflows. This combination enables rapid iteration, clean code structure, refactoring of existing systems, and fast adaptation to ongoing API changes.
