Concerning design of the tool and its UX, there is more sense in allowing the user to select a piece of content in the page (like in wiki blame), and showing how it did evolve through revisions and time.

Hi, I'm building a tool to make it easier for an editor to go through the edits/revisions in an article. The tool shows the changes in html rather than in wikitext. The content that was removed/deleted in a revision disappears & the new content/ modifications is made to appear.
Please checkout the live demo. My proposal https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Replay_Edits. Some mock ups. Mock 1,Mock 2
The demo is bare bones & I'm working on adding the following features .
Pause/Forward/Rewind buttons Draggable timeline , to select the starting revision and the ending revision.
Hoping to hear some ideas or suggestions on the slider to select the start and end revision , especially when the article has thousands of edits over five or six years.
Thanks Jeph
