Hi, I am wondering if there is some option in the server side where I can give more “granularity”/“saving speed” to the revisions. What I mean by that is the only feature from Etherpad that I miss in HedgeDoc: the timeslider.
For example, if in Etherpad I wrote “This is a test. ” and then I deleted it, I get this history:

"pad:asdasfaq:revs:13": {

"meta": {
"author": "a.CwaayRJ9brMJX2rh",
"timestamp": 1616606517112
}
}
}
But if I do the same (with the same writing speed) on HedgeDoc, I get this:
{
"revision": [
{
"time": 1616608875010,
"length": 0
}
]
}
Which is only:
{
"content": "",
"patch": [],
"authorship": []
}
I think the “granularity” of Etherpad is convenient for discourse studies, since we can have not only the final text but the way it was written Plus, with the timeslider reading mode some text could be easier to understand since you would read as it was written, this is a powerful and new mode of reading that in humanities could be very appreciated.
