[IDEA/BOUNTY] Steem Archive - view a historical version of Steemit

Earlier today I read about Steemer Hive account@blueorgy getting hacked. Hacks are sadly still a common occurence on the platform, until security practices are improved. The hacker vandalized Hive account@blueorgy's account by editing one of his posts to nonsense.

Thanks to posts being forever stored on the Steem blockchain, I was able to recover his original post. However, it took me quite a bit of effort to do so. What I pretty much did was digging through the blockchain with a python script.

While there exist things like the Google Cache or web.archive.org, they are not reliable, especially for new posts.

That got me thinking, what we really need is a Steem Web-site that shows historical versions of a particular post (or even the whole website) by walking through the blockchain in reverse!

As far as I'm aware, none of the existing sites like steemd.com, SteemStream.com or SteemStats.com have this feature.

Now, I am not a web developer myself (not a good one anyway), but I'm willing to put up a bounty of 50% of the Steem Dollars that this post earns for the person that can make it happen. You know, on top of the eternal glory, fame, and more Steem Dollars that you will earn for announcing your website!

Anyone interested?
