Research direction
The issue aims to migrate from the deprecated 'remote' module to '@electron/remote' to allow upgrading Electron. It references the official migration guide at https://github.com/electron/remote/blob/main/README.md#migrating from remote. The repository is a screen recorder built with Electron, so the migration likely involves updating imports and usage patterns across the codebase. No assignees, linked PRs, or recent comments indicate the work is available but requires familiarity with Electron's remote module and the migration steps.
