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.

Updated, thank you @retr007, @J5lx!

i've personally never felt the need to use window decorations as i use a tiling window manager. however, if you really want the window decorations and the systray icon, follow the instructions laid out here by jamezrin and apply the notion-enhancer: https://github.com/notion-enhancer/notion-enhancer/issues/467#issuecomment-826361185

beware, there are a few bugs but i think you can fix one major bug that makes the window decorations look really big by turning tabs on and off in the enhancements menu which you can access with the keyboard shortcut Alt+e. I haven't noticed any dealbreaking bugs.

also, after applying the enhancer, the usual notion-app does not launch so i had to create a custom script and add it to my bin to launch notion conveniently (the command you need to put in the script is mentioned in the link above).

Thank you, retr007!

PS: still no window decoration nor systray icon.

retr007's approach works for me, many thanks!

all of those who are getting the error related to cld, here's how i managed to fix the issue. the issue seems to be with a node package called cld and specifically the version 2.5.1, so as a workaround we have to configure the installer to make it install a newer version of the package, which apparently works.

steps
1. I cloned this repo, i.e https://aur.archlinux.org/notion-app.git
2. I entered the cloned directory and I ran makepkg once, just to get all the binaries.
3. I edited the file notion-app/src/extracted-app/resources/app/package.json and changed the version of the package cld from 2.5.1 to 2.7.0.
4. I also edited the file notion-app/PKGBUILD and removed the following lines from it, so that the installer script doesn't overwrite the version.

  7z x -y "${srcdir}/Notion-"${pkgver}".exe" -o"${srcdir}/extracted-exe" >/dev/null
  7z x -y "${srcdir}/extracted-exe/\$PLUGINSDIR/app-64.7z" -o"${srcdir}/extracted-app" >/dev/null

5. Then I ran makepkg again, and it installs pretty much the way it's supposed to.

@jamezrin and @pat-s kindly take note of this issue and make sure to fix it in the next update, thank you.

It fails to build here too. Same J5lx error (2021-05-19).

This package currently fails to build (again) following the recent update from GCC 10 to GCC 11:
