[ENHANCEMENT] Enhance URL validation to automatically prepend 'https://' to links #24

Open DCGUY009 opened 5 days ago

DCGUY009 commented 5 days ago

Description

Currently, the URL field does not recognize "www.x.com" as a valid link. To improve user experience, we should automatically prepend "https://" to URLs when users don't include a protocol.

Proposed Enhancement

If the URL is entered without a protocol, automatically prepend "https://". If the provided URL already includes "http://" or "https://" leave it unchanged.

Benefits

This will make it easier for users to use the app as they don't have to modify their link by adding protocols when they are manually entering or entering a URL without the protocol.
