You can build a newsletter CMS and send emails, but beehiiv's moat is deliverability, growth network, recommendations, ad marketplace, automations, analytics, and migrations.

Build me a production-ready, beautiful newsletter platform clone of beehiiv using Next.js 15 (App Router), TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and PostgreSQL (via Drizzle ORM). The application must feature a breathtaking, modern user interface utilizing glassmorphism, smooth micro-animations (Framer Motion), and a meticulously crafted design system using rich, harmonious colors and premium typography (Inter or Roboto). It must look like a top-tier Silicon Valley product.

Core Requirements:
1. Public Facing Site: A stunning landing page with a hero section to capture email subscribers using a beautifully designed double-opt-in form. Implement a highly polished blog/archive section at `/archive` displaying past newsletters with elegant typography and reading progress bars.
2. Admin Dashboard (Protected): A sophisticated dashboard to manage the newsletter. Include key metrics (total subscribers, recent growth) presented with beautiful charts.
3. Rich Text Editor: Build a robust, distraction-free markdown/rich-text editor for composing newsletters. Implement live preview to see exactly how the email will look, styled within a responsive, single-column email HTML template.
4. Subscriber Management: A dedicated view to list, filter, and manage subscribers. Implement robust CSV import and export functionality to ensure data portability. Store subscriber data securely in PostgreSQL: email, unique token, subscribed_at, and status.
5. Email Sending Engine: Integrate Resend or plain SMTP for transactional and bulk sending. Crucially, every email must include a one-click unsubscribe link (using the unique token) and a List-Unsubscribe header to comply with legal standards.
6. Reliable Batch Processing: Log each send per subscriber as 'sent' or 'failed'. If a bulk send is interrupted, the system must be able to resume without double-sending to any user.

Technical Stack & Best Practices:
- Next.js 15, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and shadcn/ui for accessible, premium components.
- PostgreSQL database using Drizzle ORM.
- Authentication for the admin panel.
- Implement strictly typed APIs and thorough error handling.
- Ensure the application is fully responsive and blazing fast.

Deliverables:
Provide the complete codebase. Include a comprehensive README.md documenting environment variables, detailed setup instructions, and crucial guidance on configuring SPF/DKIM DNS records for email deliverability. Out of scope: complex referral programs, paid subscriptions. Focus entirely on a flawless, incredibly beautiful core writing and sending experience.
