Inspired by https://github.com/dwyl/phoenix-ecto-append-only-log-example we need to create a re-usable package which we will then use in https://github.com/club-soda/club-soda-guide/pull/103 and other dwyl/client projects. dependent on: https://github.com/dwyl/phoenix-ecto-append-only-log-example/issues/1 (i.e. we can only create the Hex.pm package/module once the readme in the example is done)

I've just experienced a real-life situation where someone (using a shared Spotify account) "DELETED" my personal playlist. (it was probably a "mistake" or a "tidy up" ... but the effect was the same! my list of tunes for cycling/exercise was gone!)

After a bit of searching @iteles discovered the "RESTORE" feature: https://support.spotify.com/us/using_spotify/playlists/can-i-recover-a-deleted-playlist

People expect ctrl+z to work ... 😥

We cannot build apps without "undo" or "restore deleted".
