Markdown URLs don't go off-site

In this post: https://pow.co/9d30eaa493c42c904987cd1c27f2f8a2d2ed5c2627c67c70f30bcf990f5757ca , I am using a markdown URL to take people to my personal website. But instead of taking you to shirish.neocities.org it takes you to pow.co/shirish.neocities.org.

Following up, I noticed a discrepancy where:

A URL starting with www. goes to https://pow.co/www.<URL>

A URL starting with https:// goes to <URL>

That's interesting. I believe the issue may be happening here, on lines 105 through 121 of OnChainEvent.tsx

For some reason, www. gets concatenated onto your URL while https:// actually replaces it with the link.
