Along these lines, I've always wanted a repo specific wayback machine that would generate a state of your site for every commit, so you could browse what your site looked like at every point along the way as you built your repo.

So I could browse back to last week and see what my site looked like, or to my 3rd commit and see what my site looked like then.

I was thinking about that the other day, that would be awesome something that builds it at every step and converts it to an animated gif

what we need is some nielsen families that have full videos of their everyday surfing - just whatever they're doing, 24/7, saved for posterity. Imagine seeing how someone used the 'net in 1994 and 2004. It would be an interesting museum, to say the least.
