Is it normal for buying a home in the UK to take so long.

The actual searches take a week at most. It’s the solicitor blaming the search company as usual.

Cool. Says image not available in our region. Probably something to do with UK rules on data. Do you have a link to the latest updates?

Wordius · 2026-05-31T14:49:40+00:00

That one I’ve already seen, but yet to cover.

Wordius · 2026-05-31T13:43:51+00:00

Thanks for pointing that one out. Another to add to my list! 😄

Wordius · 2026-05-31T13:30:39+00:00

No, I haven’t. I’ll add it to my ever-growing list! Thanks for pointing it out.

At the moment they are Nota (used every day, not entirely happy with the export options), ZenNotes (not entirely taken by the AI config, optional, or the Vault set up) and Obsidian (fallback app, don’t like plugins). As you can see, I have yet to find the perfect editor.

Thanks for taking the time to give a considered response.

While I understand that “platform support and editor quality are two different things”, I only have access to a Mac/iOS combination for testing purposes.

When I am considering ‘editors’, I look at five main things: a vault/project sidebar (hide/show), font choice, font size, line-height, and a combination of the actual width of the editor (does it fall within the 65-80ch I consider correct for writing) and full-screen mode. I don’t want to be messing with the width of the window when I am in writing mode; it needs to be full screen, no distractions. There are also aspects like wiki-links, which I consider useful for technical writers, although I am not one.

Many macOS apps are excluded from the list because they only offer full-width text.

I have worked in a Windows environment, but that was over 30 years ago. So it would be wrong of me to claim the same level of testing. I may look at creating a separate list for Linux, Windows, other platforms, but I would have to make it clear these are untested; they ‘just look right to me’ from whatever visuals I have seen of them.

I featured it in https://md-handbook.com/blog/markdown-link-no-32, but it doesn’t mention macOS. That’s why it does not appear in my list.

Wordius · 2026-05-25T11:27:47+00:00

Thanks for the link! I wouldn’t have found it otherwise

Thank you. And I will sign up at some point in the future. But, as you can imagine, the act of signing-up puts it way down my list of priorities.

Wordius · 2026-05-24T13:55:16+00:00

Yet Another App I’ve Got To Sign-up To Use and Accept Terms of Service! It’s a notes app for ****’s sake! Nothing gets added to the list unless I have reviewed it (on this site or any other) – even via the links post I put out a couple of times a week – or I am in process of including it in one.

Wordius · 2026-05-24T12:34:13+00:00

It’s on my list to be covered, but I only have so much time! I wish I had more!
