Do you know how to show diff views of CSV tables? My insights: Diff views Aren’t Universal; Context Matters; Content-Specific Diff views.

The learnings I got from spreadsheet software is that the changes in cells often get lost if another person edits it and history is hard to observe

Technically I tried to solve it for CSV data, which relies a little less on computed data. Prototype: https://csv-n2qj.onrender.com/

My struggle was how to display to the user what changed.
