"Not a solved problem" in the README?

[dandv]

Parsing out URLs is a very old problem and there are quite a few solid solutions to it.

• the regexps component has a comprehensive, yet one-line URL regexp that handles modern TLDs
• jQuery contributor Ben Aldman has written javascript-linkify
• jQuery linkify has seem some serious effort put into it
• Django has a urlize library that has been ported to JavaScript (it doesn't support TLDs properly)
  How does autolink differentiate? By not autolinking "google.com"? I wouldn't complain if the repo didn't have 87 stars :)

@dandv You'll notice the first commit to this project predates jQuery linkify by nearly two years.
I've been using this in production for several years and it's more than suited my needs. If you think the documentation or implementation can be improved, please submit a pull request. If you think there are better libraries in existence, perhaps you can write a comparative blog post.
I'd be happy to merge a pull request that updates the README to include links to more full-featured or modern alternatives, but this seems to be suiting some people's needs just fine. :)
