Arch Linux User Repository

This package includes https://github.com/notion-enhancer/notion-enhancer built-in and is based on top of https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/notion-app/.

It is likely that this version will have more bugs than the original, so if you don't need the enhancements and this package doesn't work for you, try notion-app instead.

How to use Notion Enhancer:

For anyone wanting to use notion-enhancer, I highly recommend using https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/notion-app-enhanced/ instead.

notion-app-enhanced is built on top off this (notion-app) package and has notion-enhancer embedded in the final package. It doesn't require any manual steps to use.

How to fix weird Emoji characters:

Please, take a look at the following blog post: https://pat-s.me/emoji-support-for-notion-so-on-linux/

Still does not work, shows an empty white screen. It needs a patch that is mentoined bellow and originates from this issue: https://github.com/notion-enhancer/notion-repackaged/issues/116

@MrVulcan simply delete notion-app-debug

Still does not work. Shows an empty screen, here is the issue: https://github.com/notion-enhancer/notion-repackaged/issues/116

There is a patch available, it can be applied during installatoin
