ok, it's not really hidden, but not much talked about:
In any .builder, .rb, .erb, .haml or .slim file you can add comments like
# TODO: your comment here, e.g. add a test
# FIXME: strange bug
# OPTIMIZE: slow algorithm
You can then find all of these notes in one place by running rake notes in the command line, which will return the type of note, the file and the line-number. Pretty sweet!

7,216 PointsI run a quick test and afaik it returns only those prefixed with the keywords TODO or FIXME or OPTIMIZE, which makes sense because by default there are a lot of comments in some rails files.
N.B. I just realized you don't need the colon from my original post.
