Can't Login to the Lotion app about lotion

i installed lotion from the github repo and am having the same problem

@YoungMahesh I'm not exactly sure who published the snap, the only "officially" installation we have is from the Github repo. Could you try installing using the instructions in the readme?

[joshpetit]

@oussama-aouini have you tried both the web and the native versions?

[YoungMahesh]

@joshpetit I just downloaded source-code(tar.gz) file from lotion-realeases on github -> extracted it -> after going inside the folder ran command ./install.sh as shown in the README file of the github -> app successfully installed on my system.
But faced same issue after clicked Log In inside the Lotion-app

@joshpetit I just installed Lotion-app again using setup-script method given in README.md file of the github-page with native version, and my problem is solved now.

But here are some suggestions -

1. Update Snapcraft.io version of app, as snap-packages are currently very popular in linux-community due to their ease-of-access and ease-of-install
2. The setup.sh file runs only when ran as bash ./setup.sh native and not just ./setup.sh native, many new-commers don't knwo this, so update README.md file for that.
3. Check source-code published in github-releases, as app installed using that found login-issues on my system.
4. Lastly, thanks for the help 👍🏻

@joshpetit no i just tried the web version what is the difference between native and web version !!

[joshpetit]

@oussama-aouini when you clone the repo, do ./setup native and it should install the native version

[joshpetit]

@YoungMahesh Appreciate it man! I'm not sure who created the snap, that's not from us as far as I know so there is no control we have over that. I added the command chmod +x setup.sh to the readme.

Is there a reason this doesn't work with ./setup.sh web?

As a user who does not care about offline capabilities, and only wants the latest notion features, is there any reason why I'd prefer to use the native version over the web version? Is there a big difference?

same here, on Ubuntu, after authenticating in chrome via google account, it tries to redirect to the Lition, but nothing happens.

I could however login via email directly in the Lotion.

Same here, the web version redirects login to an external browser and on authentication doesn't return to the app. While the native version does.
