Traffic acquisition / redirection #95

Context

Some developers forked this explorer and deployed it to https:// ordinalscan net. Beside a few CSS adjustments, the only feature that I see, that could have been motivating this move, is this Trade button Screenshot 2023-09-20 at 12 09 40

redirecting traffic to partners.

Hypothesis

If we had a similar button, that would be set dynamically, do we think that it would be easier to conduct partnership with other actors in the ecosystem? Our goal with this product is to build a very good explorer, and we very probably won't cross the line, and add features that would turn this product into a marketplace. Clear boundaries are defined, we focus on exploration, and we let marketplaces do what they do best, and focus on the trading experience.

Feature

When the explorer is opened using a URL that looks like https://ordinals.hiro.so/?redirect_url=https://unisat.io/inscription&name=Unisat (or so) then on the inscriptions pages we display a call to action button "Open on Unisat". With that, partners are redirecting their users when they want them to browse, and know that they will be back for trading on their website.
