The Lost Eurovision Song Contest

What's this blog post about?

The Lost Eurovision Song Contest is an unofficial online voting system for the Eurovision Song Contest, which was cancelled in 2021 due to understandable reasons. The system allows users to vote for their favorite songs from previous years by texting a year and country to a specified phone number. Users can also view the current top 10 results by sending a message with "Results" followed by a year. The system is hosted on MongoDB Atlas and uses Twilio functions to interact with users through text messages. The data set for the project is publicly available on GitHub, and users can run their own voting systems using the provided instructions.
