I don't want to downplay this idea, it really is nice to see people doing different/unique things with technology.
However, 1 question I have is:
Couldn't you just put a CSV/JSON file(s) behind VCS?
Eg. Drop my CSV/JSON file(s) onto github.com and then it will be version-controlled ?

On my machine, Git refuses to diff files over 1GB (maybe there is a setting for that) * You must clone the entire repository onto your machine to work with it * There is no programmatic API -- you must work with the data and changes as text and line diffs See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zeg9CY3BMes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zeg9CY3BMes for a little bit more on this topic.
