Share link that automatically connects #20

It would be cool if you could share a link like this: http://maxogden.github.io/screencat/remote#sugar-shadow-snowball

and it would automatically connect the remote to your computer.

That would be great. My ideal for this app would be this use case:

  1. I am preparing an email to send a client, I am chatting with a co-worker about the contents
  2. I want to share the compose window of that email with the co-worker
    1. I click some icon in the systray (or whatever it is called), select "share window"
    2. I click the window I want to share
    3. I get a notification window telling me the share url is now in my clipboard
  3. I send the link to my coworker
    1. He opens the link in his browser
    2. If he has the sharing app installed, it opens up a dedicated window for him
    3. If he doesn't have the app installed, it just opens in the browser window

I think we need a click for the getusermedia call, but It would be easy to have the code auto filled in.

I'll submit a PR for this.
