Throws ERR_INVALID_URL about lowdb

[tb2johm]

I also run in to this problem (running on Mac), (node.js 18 LTS).

So according to nodes url, the const myUrl = new URL(filename) isn't valid (https://nodejs.org/api/url.html#urlpathtofileurlpath).
Instead it's recommended to use url.pathToFileURL to get a file:///path/to/db. However, deeper down in the stack (in the steno package) (and also in the TextFileSync), path.join(...) is used, and at least on the Mac a path.join("file:///path/to/db") returns file:/path/to/db which also fails.

I'm using this in node environment.

Looks like JSONPreset calls new URL on the filename, which apparently means it requires a file: scheme.
Then when it's stringified and passed to fsPromises.writeFile('file:/path/to/blah') in steno/lib/index.js,
node errors with

Uncaught [Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'file:/path/to/blah']

I published a fix. Can you give it another try?

It seems to work! Thanks.
