How does everyone manage their TODOs in the code?

Of course I can do a TODO search in VSCode and have all the TODO surfaced.

What Julia specific tooling do you need here?

I am using todo-tree and am fine with it.

I see two, which have very similar names, you meant this one with a lot of downloads right?
