sudam-shrestha/ashar14_newsportal ? reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a simple news portal web app in Laravel.

I want a clean homepage that shows the latest and featured stories, plus category sections like politics, sports, entertainment, and technology. Each story should have its own article page with a title, image, author, date, and full content, and users should be able to browse by category and search for articles. Make it look modern and responsive on mobile and desktop.

If it makes sense, add a basic admin area where I can create, edit, and delete news posts and categories, so the site can be managed easily without touching code. Use the existing Laravel setup, keep the code organized, and make sure the site is ready to run with a proper database setup and migrations. Add a few sensible starter pages and any needed seed data so the portal feels complete right away. If you need to check current Laravel docs online while building it, go ahead.
