Scratchpad / ToDo list
Customer Request received by mail: "I'm not sure if you're familiar with the Elements text editor app. It's a simple text editor app that syncs its contents out to Dropbox. As part of that program there is a scratchpad function that allows for side notes when working on a file. My guess is that its doing something like storing scratch not information in the metadata for the file or something. That's what I'm talking about.
Think of it this way. When you open Textastic you see the list of files that you're working with. When you select a file (in this case let's say it's a python script) the app reads the metadata and constructs a Todo list or side note section for that particular file. What it might contain is something like this:
1.) Need to add a hash bang (#!) for running scripts on Linux.
2.) Need to remember to properly format code for easy reading.
3.) Need to properly comment the code so I can remember what the hell I was thinking when I wrote it.
Does that help? You can take a look at the Elements text editor app to get an idea of what I'm getting at. I don't know if they store it in metadata or not. That's just a guess on my part, but it seems logical."

The only downside I see is this: it wouldn't be copied over when copying the file to another app or computer or if you send it via email.
- ' TODO '
- ' FIXME '
or whatever...
That reminds me of this idea: http://feedback.textasticapp.com/feedback/7796-show-a-list-of-functionsclass-methods/
The scratchpad, which is only available in Textastic, could be an additional/separate feature
your can make group in File Properties, like: notes
and scan file to comment
