how about a simple comment block like this (this is how it is used in the GP Blocks language)

Yes. Please also consider commenting/liking this feature request:

> <https://github.com/thunkable/thunkable-issues/issues/690>
>
> \*\*Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.\*\*
> The current …comment feature is limited. Comments are hidden by default and when they are shown, they sometimes float way far away from their original block.

Correct. I’m hoping people will bump that suggestion so that the developers see it’s really needed. I personally can’t use the comments the way they are. They appear in random places and it gets annoying.

Yes you’re right! The way the comments are currently implemented is useless.  
But comments are ALWAYS needed in programming. I cannot imagine that such a feature is not already correctly implemented in the language.  
‘No code’ does not mean ‘No comment’!

Thanks for your comment. I feel it’s really missing from Thunkable. When I develop apps myself and especially when I work for clients – now that I’m a Certified Thunkable Expert on Fiverr – there’s a great need to add notes to projects and the current feature is quite lacking and buggy.

I suggested this improvement in Oct 2020 but since Thunkable isn’t using GitHub any more for feature requests, I’ll add it here as well:

**I’d like to see a Comment block in Thunkable X that fits in as a puzzle piece, cannot float, and can be re-sized to allow for less/more text. I created a mock-up posted below.**
