Utilizing "Application Trace" from error page in browser
Not like rails-footnotes had it back when I last used it (which is probably 2010 time frame). For me, right now, when I click one of the lines in the Application Trace, it just changes the top box showing the piece of code that failed. Back in 2010, TextMate was the editor a lot of Rails developers used but I used emacs. The links from rails-footnotes had a scheme of something like txtmt: and I had to write things so that that scheme would be sent to Emacs and also Emacs code that knew what to do with it.

Revise Your Stylesheets. Part 1. Color Scheme
A few words about tools. I will use NodeJS v5.9 and es6 features such as template string, map datatype and destructuring assignment. Xray-rails gem for dispatching get requests to your selected editor or IDE.
