I had so much fun with the previous hackathon that I wanted to try another. I searched online and found React Riot. It’s a 48-hour online React hackathon held over this past weekend. It was the worst weekend I could’ve possibly chosen to participate in a hackathon. I had a work deadline to meet. I had a talent show to emcee. I had a summer camp to prepare. I had many things going on.

Two weeks ago, I had decided to join a hackathon sponsored by the company I’m interning at this summer, Cerner. It was a hackathon for interns and apprentices, and this will be the my first hackathon ever. It was a whole week long so it won’t interfere with our actual work. At least, that was the intention. 😝 Our team chose to work on a healthcare analytics app. It was an idea pitched by one of my teammates and we all liked the idea, especially since Cerner deals with healthcare IT and we can receive bonus points for using any of their open-sourced libraries.

I first learned about the JSON.stringify() method from a senior developer during an internship. Since then, I’ve used it A LOT to debug JS code, but one thing that always annoyed me was how it prints the whole JSON object in one long line. I spent a good 30 minutes or so looking at different Stack Overflow solutions. Through combinations of googling bad keywords and lazy skimming, I found a good great solution.
