Considering it was made in less than 7 hours with no access to the internet, I'd excuse hacks.

Edit: Especially since it's called out as a constraint:

> Don’t worry about production quality, just re-create as much of the look and feel of the UI as quickly as possible. No accessibility, responsive design, localization, etc; you just want something you can run through a user test.

Maybe should have spent less time to not have time to write overflow hidden then.
I mean they did it so they didn’t have to deal with a whole class of problems (making it look and work well on a phone).

For a 7-hour hackathon that seems entirely reasonable.

Realistic constraints too, since the original UI was designed to work with specific devices at specific screen sizes, not as responsive.
