I can't figure out what this tool does, even after spending several minutes on the linked github page, and following the npmjs link on that page.

But clearly HN likes it (it's number two...); can anyone explain it to me?

Looks like it's able to detect URL in "natural language" texts. Like for example "this is alinkhttps://wikipedia.org". Check a live demo at https://jsfiddle.net/AndrewKang/xtfjn8g3/

I think the "no-protocol" in the post message suggests the http(s) part is unnecessary. Makes sense - it's a pretty easy problem when the scheme is there
