Bug Description

the Notion Importer Page (https://appflowy.com/app/import?action=import&source=notion&redirectToImport=https%3A%2F%2Fappflowy.com%2Fcompare%2Fnotion-vs-appflowy%3Fimporting%3Dtrue) keeps refreshing itself, preventing me from uploading my notion exports.

How to Reproduce

  2. try to upload a notion file
  3. wait

Expected Behavior

actual: the page will continually attempt to connect, and then refresh, preventing any uploads from completing

Operating System

Hi @richardshiue, it seems like the issue persists.
So it doesn't seem to be possible to use the migration feature 😢 .
Is there maybe an alternative way to use this feature at the moment? I just want to give AppFlowy a try 😄.
Thank you in advance for your help.
