should be right, as it is "Show HN", although [0] indicates this site has been submitted previously under different usernames
I'd add some more feedback:
* Add some detail about which regex flavor is used for the lessons, if they are meant to be common features between the flavors listed under 'References & More', again, mention it somewhere. For example, someone trying to learn regex for grep/sed/awk will discover that `\d` will not work.
* I get that the lessons are not meant to cover everything, for example lookarounds/non-greedy/backreferences aren't covered, but I'd feel word boundaries after the line anchors would make a good addition. Edit Some of these are covered in lesson 15, but that is not linked in the sidebar under 'Lesson Notes'

#6I'm not a RegEx expert, but I've googled them enough to have the basics. This is exactly what I needed to improve my skills.

#8This is one of the best online learning experiences I've ever had. I went through it twice and never felt uncomfortable with regular expressions afterwards. The author also does this for SQL, which I haven't tried: https://sqlbolt.com/
Are there any other online learning courses like this?

#9I was going to post, "that's too bad, there's already an excellent one out there." Yep, this is how I learned regex. In fact, I don't even worry about forgetting regex, since 10 minutes on this and I have most of what I need.
Excellent, excellent website.

It's really nice and well thought out.
I am curious who did these? Why would they choose to remain anonymous?
