If you have centralised signup and identity you may as well run a Postgres DB or a git repo.

It could still be a cool idea, but I don’t get how this needs crypto?

That can still be done by streaming the updates to whoever wants them (can even hash each chunk of updates, and include the hash of the prior chunk in each chunk, to get a linked list of chunks, which would prevent undetected manipulation of prior chunks).
