I recently spent multiple months building out something like this blog post describes, for a notion-like app (to replace a different versioning scheme that could do draft pages but not point in time viewing).

We ended up doing it all in typescript, or with some postgraphile shenanigans.

One of the things we missed when requirements gathering was the ability to view a table of records each at their "latest published" version.

I think this can probably be done by including a pair of tztsrange columns in the history table (one for "when was this the latest valid draft?" and one for "when was this the latest valid published version", and do a bunch of date shuffling whenever you publish a version.

We've not actually done this yet, because there are some edge cases around dependency graphs and computed columns, but for a simpler app I reckon it would work just fine.
