My brain went straight to Niagara Falls for some reason… I wish the experience of viewing the falls was similar. Just in nature rather than this built-up tourist destination.

Hackathons can be a blast. That said, it usually takes extra effort to productionize-a-thing after the initial hackathon effort. Hope to see a follow-up post on what was built!
