I thought some days ago, what if there was a tool that, working also with the versioning system, offered kind of a "chat" or comment section to files, folders, even deleted ones?
So you can see the meta commentary without going through the actual versions of the code (unless necessary, hence the "working with the versioning system")?
Say there was a file, index.js, and this thing would look like this:
- COMMIT: Created file.
- COMMIT: Updated exports.
- Coder 1: This file was a pain when working with the dependency, be careful about that.
- COMMIT: Added new function.
- Coder 2: This file is also needed in project X.
- Coder 1: @Coder1 Can I know why? We already deprecated this tool.
- Coder 2: @Coder2 It was needed by a dependency that wasn't.
- COMMIT: Fixed typo.
Again, this would be accessed from the file itself, say a button on the IDE that said "Open comments" or something.
Things similar but that wouldn't be the same: Docs, forums, discussion "hubs"... wait, discussions, like Wikis have. What do you think? Does something like this exist?
