Description
Hi, i have followed below commands to run the screen cat
git clone https://github.com/maxogden/screencat.git
cd screencat
npm install
npm install electron-rebuild
npm start
When i have started i got below error
(electron) ipc module is deprecated. Use require("electron").ipcMain instead.
So, i have replaced require('electron').ipcMain in three files (screen.js , electron.js , app.js). After replacing also when i start the scrren cat the only msg i can see is ready
Can you please suggest me guidelines how to use it.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with git clone, npm install, npm install electron-rebuild, and npm start. Read screen.js, electron.js, and app.js around the Electron IPC usage and compare the startup output with the reported “ready” state. Done means the app connects and screen sharing works rather than stopping at “ready”.
