Bug: Blank screen on startup and json parse error in console

[szucsnandor]

Describe the bug

Tried many versions of surrealist appimage under ubuntu, even installed deb but I get the same blank screen on startup.
Opening the inspector I see this:
[Error] Unhandled Promise Rejection: SyntaxError: JSON Parse error: Unexpected EOF (anonymous function) (index-MhKjna3N.js:2943:51466)
i see the following in the logs:
