WeNews

A Java project that incorporates all the main pillars of object-oriented programming, featuring a UI built with JavaFX.

📌 Dependencies

To run this program, you must have a PostgreSQL database running on your machine.

Once the database is set up and running, you need to edit line 37 of the code with your database credentials:

The project was developed using Java 20.
