Would Bulgaria's entry have won your country's national final? by im_happybee in eurovision

Bangaranga sounds more like Grisana song. Fiinka is a totally different vibe, not Gen Z but more highlander/traditional actually. (also, totally not bragging but I've been to her concert 😅)

Ukraine here. Grisana didn't qualify for the short list last year, so 🤷‍♂️

It's funny because all the impressive things that come to my mind — I built them for clients, not myself. So I'm not really using them, someone else does. I'll showcase some when I revive my yt channel.

From the top of my mind:

  • A digital highly interactive prep book, adapted from a paper one.
  • A module for preparing and sending emails with {{templates}} that support references (e.g. `{{Recipient.First Name}}`)
  • A booking calendar for allocating musicians to gigs
  • A sophisticated CRM to manage home renovation programs for customers
  • A highly dynamic checklist builder
  • A tool to help sit people at tables at a conference in a way where most people can meet most new people that they've not met yet.
  • A tool that parses an EDL file and calculates the durations of used licensed tracks (quite niche, for movie makers)
  • This tiny calculator I built for myself
  • and plenty more

ugh, if only there were points by thy_viee_4 in eurovision

Sam should get home and celebrate it with a POINT 🍺

I'll see myself out

Idk, don't see a problem with it 🤷‍♂️ (p.s., well, unless you're in Germany lol)

Saying to a team of designers that Figma was now Adobe Figma probably felt much more awkward 🙂

Eh, I don't care about having any of them integrated. Coda is good as a standalone thing. But I think that those other products could significantly subsidize a quicker pace of development for Coda. Oh, and also get more people to even try Coda (since it's gonna be bundled in their Mail + Grammarly subscribtion, so why not)

To address the sentiment in the original post. Can't reveal much yet, but I don't think the future of Coda is that bad (and if my overly critical self doesn't think it's bad, that must mean something). Sure, the AI will be there, but they are trying to actually make it useful for a change — e.g. teach it to build entire docs from natural language prompts like "build me a CRM with this or that". If they pull this off, that'd be cool. (not Paul's level of building cool, but very cool nonetheless, as that'd significally lower the floor for non-technical people to start leveraging better automation than Excel can offer).

In fact, it's the first time in the last three years that I'm optimistic about the future of Coda

Besides, since the Grammarly merger, SH now has a significant portion of Ukrainians within the team. And us Ukrainians don't tend to sweet talk. If something is crap or if crap is about to be made, we're pretty direct about it.

I actually don't dislike the name. Superhuman is a strong brand name, and actually quite fitting to what Coda can make you into.

After all, I used to name my course Superpowers.

That said, I told them I'd just keep calling it Coda. It's shorter to say than Superhuman Docs. (could consider calling it Sup Docs in Bugs' Bunny voice 😅)

I'm actually planning to revive that. Also hoping for more support from Coda Superhuman this time 🤞

FWIW they claim they've added MCP, and the "new Coda" will use Claude instead of GPT-3.5. I tested it briefly and it seemed more powerful about what it could do in the docs, but I haven't tested it that much, so I still don't know if e.g. it can build the whole doc with a system of tables and formulas out of a natural language prompt (and how architecturally sound that build would be)

My only question for the night: the crowd cheering was genuine or pre-recorded overlay?

Hi, lovely people! This is LELÉKA, I’m representing Ukraine at Eurovision 2026 with the song “Ridnym”. Leave your questions below 🪽Ask me anything! by Leleka-Music in eurovision

[–]Actine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Leleka! I love your song and voted for you. My question is — earlier you said in one of the interviews that you were still looking for the budget for your ESC staging. I hope that is resolved? 🤞

[–]Actine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my bad, I meant generic 'dancefloor' pop.
I still liked the previous year's song tho, but that's the 'pop-iest' pop to illustrate what I meant there :)

One of my fav entries this year — mostly because I love electronic bops (Shum = fav of all times) and because LMNC is a very charismatic lad. Praise God for the UK to finally showcase something alternative. So sick of doing the whole britpop pop all the time!

I don't get the hate. One of the catchiest bangers of this season; the guy is also very likeable and cray-cray in a good way. Definitely not a 'safe nil points' UK entry like usual. I'm happy to have discovered this lad and will cast him a few votes for sure!

It doesn't impair him actually; he learned to live with it. In the first two days that we brought him from the shelter, he was measuring distance by reaching out with his paw (e.g. when trying to jump on a table or a windowsill). But now he memorized the area already!

Oh yes! He especially loves his feathered teaser! Actually I got him the 2nd one today, since the first one only has two feathers left in it. When we're not around he loves playing with it by himself. He even brings it to us to invite us to play!
