Alexey, Sofy, Alexander, and Pavel came together to create Hot Point, a mobile application that retrieves and displays the top news in various categories like politics, sports, films, and music from a database. The application was developed for both Android and iOS platforms and uses an API with methods to get news from different sources and store it in the database. The team split responsibilities with some members focusing on code, documentation, and presenting while others developed the API, frontend, and database.
