Same issue here. It states:

This package does not work on older Atoms. You should install the latest version of Atom from: https://atom.io/

[VinuRajaKumar]

This issue persists in version 1.53.0 too.

Hi, for me it works now, that I have upgraded to

Atom    : 1.57.0
Electron: 9.4.4
Chrome  : 83.0.4103.122
Node    : 12.14.1

[mikezentz]

I'm getting the same error: Atom : 1.54.0 Electron: 6.1.12 Chrome : 76.0.3809.146 Node : 12.4.0

[aminya]

@mikezentz your Atom is old.

[steelbrain]

@aminya Any ideas how people are able to install this package on older versions of Atom even tho we specify the atom version in engines? https://github.com/steelbrain/intentions/blob/c6f9507baef775ac932e21bb77b466d1507d9c07/package.json#L11

[aminya]

I released 2.1.0 without the Atom engine specified. Should we unpublish that?

I see the bright side of this. It makes people upgrade their Atom version, which is very important.

[steelbrain]

@aminya While I do think it's nice to have people upgrade their Atom version, but "Failed to load package" may not be a good experience in doing so. I think it's best if we unpublish that version, and let people enjoy the latest version after their Atom is up to date. Thoughts?

[aminya]

Yes, we can unpublish that. We need to update the changelog after doing so.

[WalnussPower]

You should also be aware, that not everybody might want to add Atom's apt repository just to use your extension. For example, the most current version of Atom provided in Pop!_OS's default repositories is Atom 1.54.0.

[aminya]

Installing Atom through https://atom.io/ is the only official way supported by Atom itself and us.

https://github.com/atom/design-decisions/blob/master/unofficial-atom-distributions.md

[steelbrain]

I have unpublished intentions v2.1.0 from the repository, so people stuck on older Atoms should continue to get a working experience. I would strongly recommend everyone to upgrade their Atom version, and to use a source for doing so that updates it frequently as @aminya recommended.

Thanks everyone for their comments!
