That's a good start but something you might want to think about is byte insertion/removal. For example, we have two files, one with a size of 100 bytes and another with a size of 101 bytes. The only difference between the two files is that there is a random byte inserted somewhere in the second file, thus making it one byte larger than the first file. Using the method you use right now will mean that every byte after the inserted byte will require a change. If you can detect removed/inserted bytes, you can definitely make it much more efficient.
This!
Also, storing the bytes as a text file is maybe not that clever, especially not since you use more text than the actual bytes itself.
The idea is definitely nice and you should continue, but there's a lot of room for improvement.
