I am not sure, a CSV file is technically a data source equal to a database, so how is this different from sites that collect torrent-links (which are targeted by anti-piracy organisations?)? The fact that it is self-hostable?

You can open a csv in Excel and edit it like a regular spreadsheet.

Yeah just like I can edit records in the database?

I'm not trying to be critical of the project, I really want to know what makes this project different than a shared database , if that is what it is?

I've gotten some hard to find stuff from here.
