Notes in Code

• To visualize notes right next to their example implementations that are scattered throughout this repository, I'd recommend using the VS Code extension Todo Tree, and then just filter for any comment with a NOTE prefix to it.

  • e.g. // NOTE This contains a note

• You can also just search for NOTE (case sensitive and with one whitespace afterwards) in the IDE of your choice and it should show every note in the project.
