Hi Dario,
The features I'm currently working on are :
- Adding Pause/Forward/Rewind buttons - Draggable timeline , you can select from where to start playing & where to end. - Skipping minor edits etc
The tool currently scrolls the added / deleted / modified content into view , so even when the article gets long it will be possible to see the changes without having to scroll and find out whats happening , did it not scroll when you tried it out ?
I'm planning on making it a js gadget. I'm hoping the tool would be really useful on mobiles as they are more interactive than desktops.
Thanks Jeph

Hi Jeph,
this is really cool and a great way of showcasing how Wikipedia articles are made.
I can think of many possible ways of expanding this tool – for example, a time range selector with a plot of the frequency of edits over time, for example: I expect people will be interested in replaying parts of an article history when edit wars happen or watch collaboration around trending topics/breaking news, I'm not sure the first N revisions are always the most interesting ones. However these are the first priorities to me:
- having basic metadata (time/contributor) about a specific revision in
the header sounds really important – I don't have any sense of the temporal scale of these edits when I replay them. A tally of unique contributors displayed at each frame would also be helpful.
- how do you expect to handle very large articles (where you cannot fit
the entire body of the article in a browser window)? Having to scroll to see what's happening below or above the fold seems to defy the purpose of a high-level visualization of edit activity.
- are you going to host this on Labs?
