show links automatically as links

[1u]

why not automatically display link-strings as hrefs?

add ´<a href=´ if string contains ´.com´ ´.net´ etc or ´http://´, ´https://´ or ´ftp://´ etc

I gave it a try in the linkify-branch, see fd3178f

yeah, works great!
needs reload to take effect with editable(mediumEditor) but thats not a problem, right?

[1u]

problem is: with editable we're edditing what is displayed, so links get stored on server after editing.

• we could do baking on the server. cons: links are stored in text and not updated when editing or removed.
• we could take the version from the server before editable, cons: curser wouldnt have position of click, pros: links wouldnt be stored on server.

Turns out Medium editor had the option to autolink all along.
