Now Explained stores article content, categories, and site settings in PostgreSQL so the public website and admin portal can render from the same source of truth.

Admin sessions are stored securely with an HTTP-only cookie and a database-backed session record. Featured and trending flags, source links, SEO metadata, and article views are managed through the admin interface.

This demo project does not add marketing pixels, analytics, or newsletter tracking. You can layer those tools on later without changing the core content architecture.
