Documentation Nodes / "> Notes" in sidebar
I would like to ask if we could add Notes to the Node systems? I have many times come back to a project and have been completely lost wondering why I have this node or that one in a tree. So on the sidebar could we add "> Notes" just a single text box, Where I can put things like "Effects bolt count Higher value means fewer bolts works best between -5 and 35" -- Lots of people share/sell node trees. I Think having what this does notes with recommended values built into the tree would make their design more user friendly. I have one that I paid $20 for and I still can't get it to mimic the example video, every value I change just seems to break it. Blender has got to be a huge program I am sure you have had to put in Comment Line to keep track of what each block of code is doing. Can we please have Comment nodes? I have been renaming nodes but there is a limit to how long I want my label text and can't always fit how it works.
I have been Using:
- F2 - What this Node does
- (Change Color) - This node has a variable that is editable to get some effect. //No way to mark witch value needs to be changed
- CNTL+J - to Label what this section controls // I can make txt blocks for notes but this will hinder the making of compact node trees
- insert router and F2 - What this variable is for.
There are many ways to Highlight and Label node trees but without true notation many of the details get lost.
I would like to see something like this:

Hello, I don't know if it will satisfy all of your need but I've just release this addon : github.com/Ni-g-3l/blender-node-note-property . I think it could help you. Feel free to report bug and open issues if you have more idea
This would be a very nice feature. I would go so far as to say the feature could be expanded to any Blender object. It would not be that hard to implement as an addon I think. Except multi-line text fields are not supported in Blender >< You didn't list in your options the ability to add a frame in the node tree. You can setup a text datablock to display in the frame. Cheers
brilliant idea i guess, and this could be even more useful if implemented in geometry nodes as well
I want it for All Node Systems
I don't really understand what you mean with the section
Do you describe how it currently works here? Do you describe how you want it to work? It's rather unclear.
As an addition to the proposal: it would be nice if this note (if present) would show up as a tooltip when hovering over the note.
It is How I currently compensate for not having Documentation ability in the node systems.
Maybe make it a separate subheading: "What's currently available for documening node trees" or something like that
