Just an idea, why not have the ability to add multiple note boxes to a flow, which you can position like an action box which you can free-type into, perhaps in a different colour (say yellow), to annotate complicated flows.

This would be great. At the moment I use a bunch of Debug Dialog conditions instead, which is pretty annoying.

Dang. You beat me to it, acerzw/rob. Still, I'm glad I'm not the only one to think this would be nice.

To which I would add that not only would they be note boxes to be added to the flow, but possibly follow along these lines:

• Have the text, "NOTE: ", append to the beginning of the title automatically.
• NOT be listed as one of the established boxes when adding/creating a new box into the flow.
• When orphaned, will be listed for deletion in the Manage>Maintenance screen.

My work around was to use either the action Script, or the action Control UI box, rename the title "NOTE: "etc, and fill it with comments. The only problem with this way is this can fill the list of existing boxes for new creations.

It just occur to me that a different color for the Note box would help a lot too. Maybe light neon green.

If I recall right, this has been requested a few times. Still, +1 from me too.

I like the idea in principle.

I get lost when there are too many stuff on the screen, and when there are too many screens. Screen real estate is precious.
I like to fit everything in as few screens as possible.

May I suggest maybe having a round bubble attached to the action or condition, just like the current 4 bubbles (pen for editing, garbage can for deleting, plus sign and list).
The new bubble would be a 'note' or 'comment' for the action or condition. Tap on it to put a note or comment in there ...
