JWT Flow Errors

A sign that an error has occurred is when you are stuck on a loading screen. The first step to debugging the error is to open the browser's developer console and look at the error codes.

Below are common errors you may experience when you integrate with AngelList's JWT flow, what they mean, and if it's not apparent, ways to remediate the problem.
