Sure, as I already replied you here yesterday I pointed out this exact alternative :)
Oh, right, haha
why did SN decide to limit edits to 10 minutes and not leave them free?
This was added before I joined iirc and I would guess the timer was added because we don't have edit history yet (/cc @k00b). I think if we had that, maybe we don't need the timer anymore? But I have to admit, I also like the "set in stone" nature of it and maybe we're too used to it now. Has the 10min edit timer became a big part of SN?
Or maybe we could allow 10min edit timer for "invisible edits" and after that we will show history. Backwards-compatible user expectations, lol

Do we have history now, just for the 10 min edit timespan? I used this edit feature, it's handy, it gives you the freedom to write quickly knowing that you can correct, but it also imposes careful follow-up because you cannot exceed the time limit.

No, there is no edit history at all. We literally overwrite the content in the database on edits (like we do for deletes).
