Something That Steem Doesn't Have But Might Need- A Front End To View All The Edits On A Post

I'm really surprised that I haven't yet seen any tool to be able to easily view the older versions and edits of posts that people have made. I really would have thought it would have been here by now, but its not. It's possible to do this multiple ways, but to someone who's new and barely understands it, they definitely won't know how to do it.

I recently saw a post titled and with the body deleted in my feed and wanted to go check it out. My method is to use this little javascript program I wrote to do it:

var steem = require("steem")

var blockEdit = 0 

steem.api.getBlock(blockEdit, function(err, result) {

    var t = result["transactions"]
    for (i in t) {
        console.log(t[i].operations)
    }
  })

Just plug in the block number that the post was originally posted in the variable blockEdit, run it, and command(or control) + F the author's name to see the original post. But getting the block number and all requires some STEEMD magic. So why has someone not yet created something to simplify this process?

Something that I can just plug in the author and permlink into and get all the edits spat right back out at me. Is that too much to ask? Hell, why can't we just bake this right into our current condensers? Maybe one of the devs will work on this? I might give it a try myself, but I don't think I'm anywhere near skilled enough to tackle this, or even have the time right now. So hey, if someone wants to do this, let me know. I can help you write 2 lines of javascript.
