Hi, very nice RegEx educational site/book.

Feedback:

- In the chapter https://refrf.shreyasminocha.me/chapters/character-classes an example is given which uses:

  o ^ character outside brackets

  o $ end of line

  o +
But the explanation above does not introduce these yet, so a real beginner user (like me) is lost. The ambigious characters example is fine, since it uses all the concepts already explained.

Thanks. Yeah, others pointed this out too. I'll get to it soon!

Just wanted to chime in and also say that this is extremely confusing for a RegEx beginner, but thanks for your work, it looks really nice.
