Keywords: chromecast / cast / google cast / screencast / screen mirroring / screen sharing / wireless display / tv / nest hub / speakers Please “rate” 💓 the project here and give it a 🌟 on GitHub.

Direct clipboard access via `St.Clipboard.get_default()` requires reviewer scrutiny.

I know it's hard to review AI generated codes. That's fortunately and unfortunately the situation these days! :/ I reviewed it for about a month and tested it.

1. Please move line 57 `lib/daemon.js` to `CastDaemon` class: - [EGO Review Guidelines: Initialization](https://gjs.guide/extensions/review-guidelines/review-guidelines.html#only-use-initialization-for-static-resources) - [EGO Review Guidelines: Destroy](https://gjs.guide/extensions/review-guidelines/review-guidelines.html#destroy-all-objects) 2. Use `connectObject()` and `disconnectObject()` so it is easier to track for cleanup. 3. Fix the broken characters in `lib/setupDialog.js`. 4. I recommend to use `constructor()` instead of old `_init()`.
