Unofficial Notion.so app for Linux

lotion's Issues

Can't login using google account

When i try to sign in using my google account, i get this message:

Any ideas?

Uninstall script

it would be good to have uninstallation script too

Alt + Left / Right arrow doesn't work throughout the system.

Hi, thank you for the great project.

I've been using lotion since Jul 2019 (0.01 version by the README), and I updated to the new version (0.03) last week for the first time since then.

After the update, Alt + Left / Right keybindings don't work throughout the system.

For example, in chrome, navigate back & forward doesn't work.
(Not only chrome, the same thing happens on all the apps only except on notion app.)

If I do pkill -9 Lotion, then everything comes back to normal.

I didn't have this problem with July 2019 version.

My current environment:
OS : Linux Mint 19.1
Desktop : Cinnamon
Expected : Alt + Left / Right shortcuts work properly by the apps.
Actual : Alt + Left / Right only work on Notion, all other apps don't respond to those keybindings.

Opens to white, blank page. Needs an update?

There's been a version update and it started showing blank pages on Linux, and their official version on Windows started crashing without self-updating.

Although re-installing on Windows fixed the problem, but for Lotion, it seems there has to be an update this time around.

It seems I'm not alone for this one either.

Issue installing in Kubuntu 20.04

I have used Lotion before and everything was ok. Recently I have updated my system to Kubuntu 20.04. I have tried to install (sudo) the app but I get this error:

cp: cannot create regular file '/root/.local/share/applications': No such file or directory

Thanks in advance.

Opening a second window?

Hello! I'm wondering what the keyboard shortcut is to open a new window or if this functionality exists. On MacOS and Windows I can use Ctrl/Command + Shift + N to open a new window, but that isn't doing anything in Linux.

Empty window

Hi,

Thank you for you job! But it seems that I have a problem: after opening the app just an empty windows appears. I've just recently came to linux and probably do not understand how to open it properly. What may be the reason?

Some keyboard shortcuts not working

Hi,

Wondering if all desktop app keyboard shortcuts are supported?

The following don't seem to work for me on Ubuntu 18.04:

• Ctrl + N for new page
• Ctrl + Shift + N for new window
• Ctrl + [, Ctrl + ] to go back and forward a page

Whereas the following do:

• Ctrl + Shift + L for dark mode
• Ctrl + P to open search

Thanks for the great work!

Can't quit program with keyboard shortcut

Hi, i really enjoyed this project. But it will be better if you add Ctrl + Q as quit function. Since v0.02, i can't use Alt + F4 to exit the program anymore, it just minimizes. Please consider my option. Thanks so muchhhh!

Disable Smooth Scrolling

Hello team,
Is there a way to disable Smooth Scrolling?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for making this project live, btw.

Impossible to export pages to .pdf, .html or .md/.csv

Is there a way to export pages ? I have the 'exporting' message, but nothing happens.

Notion-Enhancer

Hello, I found a customization tool for Notion's Windows client (https://www.notion.so/Notion-Enhancer-147abdd0b5ed47c9b472520f9ee212a4). Since Lotion is also encapsulated in Electron, I think it can also be used to beautify Lotion.
But I don't know anything about Electron or CSS, I'm just a Linux desktop user.I still changed the style of Notion in version 0.02. By modifying /Lotion/resources/app/lib/preload.js, adding

function userscript() {
    /* Style Injecting */
    var fs = require("fs");
    let css = fs.readFileSync("lotion/Lotion/resources/app/lib/userscript.css"); //will be replaced in python patcher
    let head, style;
    head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
    if (!head) { return; }
    style = document.createElement('style');
    style.type = 'text/css';
    style.innerHTML = css;
    head.appendChild(style);
    /* Style Injecting */
}
require('electron').remote.getGlobal('setTimeout')(() => {  userscript(); }, 100);

userscript.css

[style^="font-weight:600"]
{
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

.notion-sidebar-container
{
background-color: #fff!important;
}

.notion-code-block
  {
    background: #F8F8FF;
  }

/* To make cursor style as pointer when hover on scrollbar */
.notion-scroller {
    cursor: auto;
}
/* Scrollbar size */
::-webkit-scrollbar {
    width: 5px; /* To change vertical scrollbar width */
    height: 7px; /* To change horizontal scrollbar height */
}
/* Element where vertical and horizontal scrollbars converge */
::-webkit-scrollbar-corner{
    background-color: transparent;
}

/* Light Theme style for Scrollbars */
.notion-light-theme ::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
    border-radius: 5px;
    background-color: #afafaf;
}
.notion-light-theme ::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
    border-radius: 5px;
    background-color: #e4e4e4;
}
.notion-light-theme ::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:hover{
    background: #969696;
}
/* Light Theme style for Scrollbars */


/* Dark Theme style for Scrollbars */
.notion-dark-theme ::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
    border-radius: 5px;
    background-color: #3d3d42;
}
.notion-dark-theme ::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
    border-radius: 5px;
    background-color: #5d5d5d;
}
.notion-dark-theme ::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:hover{
    background: #868686;
}
/* Dark Theme style for Scrollbars */

But in the 0.03 version I can't restore this scene. Hope you can guide me

Wrong filename in create_shortcut.sh

Change from Exec="${FULL_PATH}/lotion" to Exec="${FULL_PATH}/Lotion" ;)

Clicking close (X) button in the title bar and then relaunching causes to launch a separate instance

Replication steps:

1. Click the close (X) button. The app remains open (the app icon is present in the top panel/system tray or check via System Monitor).
2. Relaunch the app. This opens a separate instance (secondary app icon in the top panel).

Is this intended behavior?

Side note: separate instance launches in light mode (my config is dark mode).

Most emoji unsupported

In Firefox, notion.so shows all emoji filled in and with color. On lotion, most emoji are rectangles, and the few that aren't are not in color.

Off-line sync

Hi,
thank you for the job you did with the app. One of the main goal I want from the desktop app is off-line sync. You wrote "However there are ways to use windows app using this code to have offline capabilities" what exactly does it mean? And what is the problem with off-line sync? It's a technology issue?
Thanks

Have to re-login every time I close and launch the app

Every time I close and relaunch the app, I am greeted by notion.so, logged out.
Is this by API design or am I missing some packages?

Installation On i3 Manjaro

Hello! I'm running a relatively fresh install of i3 Manjaro but after I run the install script the output all appears successful, but there doesn't seem to be any way to run the program. It doesn't appear in dmenu or on my desktop or anywhere else I could run it from. This could definitely be user error though. Is there a specific file inside the installation that I could run to open the program?

Any way to run multiple instances?

So I can log in with different email addresses parallely

Lotion Offline Sync

Hi I have tried to follow the wiki on this but it seems like it doesn't work in the lotion folder I can only see Lotion/resources/app so should I create a new folder named Notion/resources in the lotion folder or rename the folder app in lotion/Lotion/resources to something else then place the app.asar inside lotion/Lotion/resources.

Because I can't see Notion folder inside lotion folder.

Kindly assist, I would really love to have the offline mode for moments when my PC is offline.

Question

Hi Puneet,

I'm not sure whether this is related to the Lotion app or it is on Notion.so side.
Regardless of how many items I created I go over the Block limit - see the red bar msg on the top.
I'm sending this question also to Notion.so guys.

Thanks. BR

Disable system tray icon

Is there a way to disable the system tray icon? If not, I'd like to request that option! Thank you :)

Not opening on zorin OS

Hi, I succesfully installed the app using install.sh script, but when I try opening it nothing happens.
I'm running on zorin OS ubuntu based 32-bit

Not working on Raspberry Pi

Running latest raspbian and when doing the install script app is installed correctly however when launching it nothing happens.

Is there a way to debug this ?

feature request: maybe the icons folder is no longer necessary with notion hosting icons

Change the default icon

I'm having trouble with the default blue icon as it's not going with my current theme.Is there a way I can change that?

icons

Why some icons are different from the web version? (worse)

For example the stars:

I thought this app is just a web browser opening notion.so, why does it need to replace the icons?

Validation Error when trying to fetch resources

Once signed in, trying to access resources that are attached to a page provides an error response instead of the file.

Only seems to happen on this client, cannot replicate on the official windows version or the online version.

Lotion may be able to work on Ubuntu 20.04

Hello. I use this repo all the time. Thank you very much!

Now, I cloned and installed this repo on Ubuntu 20.04, but it was garbled as shown below. Do you have a solution for this?

I have already installed the packages:fonts-emojione fonts-noto-color-emoji

Building the tarball

I'm a a little too paranoid to install a random binary off of GitHub 😉.

Could you add the ability to build the tarball using nativfier?

Most emojis aren't displayed

As you can see here:

System: 5.6.13-arch1-1
Notion: 2.7.22.4.3

[issue] links opens in browser, sometimes

Hello, when I search for something in "quick find" and click a result it opens in my browser, when I come back to lotion, and repeat all, this time will open in Lotion normally. Also, the issue while sporadic its annoying. How can I help to investigate this when it repeats

Auto-Updated?

My question is if Lotion is autoupdated or for get the last updates you have to do it manually. I'm new on electron apps.

HiDPI support?

Wondering if you anyone knows how to do this offhand--

Gnome 3: compatibility

Add icon compatibility for Gnome 3. Right now the app is opened using a separate icon.

using as root causes close error

Hi,
I am using the app in root mode to do so I directly call the Lotion file using the command -
./Lotion --no-sandbox
All is good when the app is running but problems start to come up when the app is closed I close the app normal way by using the close button on the top left but the process is still running in command line not just that when I check the running commands using ps aux | grep otion
I see the process is still running even though I stopped it in terminal using Ctrl + z
To further stop the process I need to force close it using kill -9 PID.
Is there an issue in the closing task or some other way I could modify it to close the process when I quit the app (I know we are not supposed to run the app as root )

Cannot save changes

I got a problem. When I quit and then start lotion, lotion doesn't load my content table. Although lotion loads workspaces and titles, but I can see only a title on the page. And I can see a mention

"Cannot save changes"

colored red on the white page.
Tooltip described that

"You can no longer make edits: Cannot open Indexed DB. Your Chrome profile may be damaged. If you changed any chrome://flags then please reset, then restart your browser.~~"

I did it. But it not worked.
I would like to attach a log for your convenience. But i don't know where log file is.

My Linux PC

• Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS

• Connected Internet on Proxy network environment.

• Fortunately, I see a table with Android Application. -

I noticed that the same issue exists in other thread.
#1 (comment)

Hi, I'm getting issues with both lotion and native lotion. When I finally got the install.sh to execute, (which was not trivial with lots of permission errors and file does not exist errors) I am able to open a desktop version of lotion (without a desktop icon), but I need to log in every time. I get an error in the app that says:

"Cannot save my changes. You can no longer make edits: Cannot open IndexedDB. Your chrome profile may be damaged."

I tried getting native notion using the above method and was able to move the app.asar to the correct folder, but I still don't have a desktop application for native notion. I should note that I needed to manually move the lotion.desktop to my /usr/share/applications in order for notion to open outside of the terminal. Any tips here? Notion is my favorite productivity app and I recently started using linux.

System tray icon is missing

Hi there! Thanks for all your work on this project. Notion is great and I'm so glad I can use it on Linux.

I noticed with the 0.02 release, the system tray icon seems missing.

Offline mode is not working is discussed in the readme steps

This what happens when launching the app

This is how the Notion/resources directory looks like

linking to external files

When I use the file block I am unable to actually open the file. Instead a blank window is opened.

Additionally Downloads of embeds dont work.

Button / Shortcut to go back

Hi,
This app is amazing, so thanks! The only important feature missing in my opinion would be a button and a shortcut to go back to the previous visited page. There is a button in the Windows and Mac OS app on the top. If the shortcut could be ALT + left arrow it would be the really could!

Uncaught exception: Object has been destroyed

Hello, I'm getting often this exception

It's kind of annoying to use since it pops out regularly. Any idea how to fix it?
Thanks a lot.

feature request: Automatic dark mode toggling based on OS theme

First of all, thank you for the great app!
It would be really cool if the lotion darkmode would be automatically activated based on the OS theme. My OS switches automatically to dark mode on evening and it would be a pleasure to have the lotion darkmode toggled automatically!
Thank you in advance! :)

Missing icons on GNOME 3

What is the dock in the README?

Is this a MacOS screenshot?

Blank screen (Ubuntu 18.04)

First of all thanks for this project, it is awesome!
Lotion was working perfectly in my Ubuntu 18.04 until yesterday . Now, when I open Lotion, I only see a blank screen. Any suggestions? thank you!

Taking votes and comments on Lotion containerized package

Would any of you be interested in Snap, Flatpack or AppImage package of Lotion?

I find cloning and installing easy but do you think it will be useful for you to keep updated for newer versions if there was a package?

Use the native browser to open links

Expected behavior

Just as with other native applications that support active links, clicking the link should open its destination either in a new native browser instance or in a new tab within an active browser window.

Actual behavior

Links are opened in a browser instance associated with the application. This means none of my extensions are present, cookies, bookmarks. Which is bad since the links stored in a Notion file where created in that environment.

Check spelling / typos

Hi,
Thanks for this awesome app that I'm using every day!
I've been wondering if it would be possible to underline spelling errors, like it is done in any browser. I think it would be a useful feature to avoid typos!

Franz Integration

Since it's already an electron based app, would it be simple to integrate it with Franz? I mean, if you have a premium account one can log in to notion and have basically the same functionality, but if you were to provide a way to integrate it in the ecosystem, people without much experience could use it there...
