I had to create a Wikipedia clone that suprisingly uses a lot of technology that I would otherwise had never considered. However, the challenging part was what to abstract away for the purpose of this hackathon. I was realizing halfway through building much of the components, that I was wasting time trying to "perfect" the clone, and should instead optimize for a more demo experience, rather than trying to build the entire product in one sitting. Which is a common bad habit I always have when hacking in these events. Certaintly, the short notice and lack of preplanning prior to the hackathon would've considerbly helped.
