What is rails-footnotes?
Rails Footnotes is a Ruby on Rails gem that adds debugging footnotes to every page of a Rails application. It displays real-time information like session data, request parameters, database queries, and routing details directly in the browser. The tool also provides clickable links to open source files in your editor from backtrace lines, streamlining the debugging process.
Rails developers and teams who need quick, in-browser debugging insights during development. It's particularly useful for those working on complex applications where inspecting request data, SQL queries, or session state is frequent.
Developers choose Rails Footnotes because it eliminates the need to switch between browser, logs, and editor by consolidating debugging information and code navigation in one place. Its extensible note system and editor integration offer a customizable, productivity-boosting alternative to manual inspection.
