Notification SaaS

Introduction

The Notification SaaS project aims to create a micro SaaS solution that provides intelligent and context-aware notifications for various user needs. This document outlines the system requirements for the Notification SaaS, ensuring it meets the needs of users like Shubham Kapale in India, considering locale-specific defaults such as timezone and user behavior.

System Overview

The Notification SaaS will leverage AI and machine learning to deliver personalized notifications based on user behavior, preferences, and context. The system will integrate with various devices and platforms to provide seamless and timely reminders.

Functional Requirements as Story Points

• As a User, I should be able to receive hydration reminders based on my work schedule, local weather, activity level, sleep time, and previous drinking habits.
• As a User, I should be able to receive focus break reminders to stand up, blink, stretch, and take short walks during computer work.
• As a User, I should be able to receive medicine reminders that verify dose intake and notify a family member if doses are missed.
• As a User, I should be able to receive posture reminders using my phone or smartwatch to detect prolonged sitting.
• As a User, I should be able to receive context-aware reminders based on my activities, such as after meetings or workouts.
• As a User, I should be able to track habit chains with streaks and rewards to encourage consistency.
• As a Parent, I should be able to receive reminders for school pickups, vaccinations, medicine, homework, water breaks, and sleep schedules.
• As a User, I should be able to receive AI-assisted reminders that understand context, such as reminding me to call someone when I leave the office.

User Personas

• User: General users who need personalized notifications for hydration, focus breaks, medicine intake, posture, and context-aware activities.
• Parent: Users who need reminders for parenting-related tasks such as school pickups and vaccinations.

Core User Flows

• User sets up hydration preferences -> System learns schedule and habits -> Sends reminders when needed.
• User configures focus break settings -> System monitors activity -> Sends reminders to take breaks.
• User inputs medicine schedule -> System verifies intake -> Notifies family if doses are missed.
• User enables posture detection -> System monitors sitting time -> Sends reminders to adjust posture.
• User sets context-aware reminders -> System tracks activities -> Sends reminders based on context.
• Parent configures child-related reminders -> System sends timely notifications for each task.

Visuals Colors and Theme

• primary: #007BFF (a vibrant blue for brand identity)
• primary_light: #66B2FF (a lighter blue for hover states)
• secondary: #6C757D (a neutral gray for supporting elements)
• accent: #28A745 (a green for call-to-action buttons and active states)
• highlight: #FFC107 (a yellow for notifications and alerts)
• bg: #FFFFFF (a clean white background)
• surface: #F8F9FA (a light gray for cards and panels)
• text: #212529 (a dark gray for primary text)
• text_muted: #6C757D (a softer gray for secondary text)
• border: #DEE2E6 (a subtle gray for borders)

Signature Design Concept

The Notification SaaS will feature an interactive "Notification Galaxy" on the homepage. Users will see a dynamic galaxy map where each star represents a different notification type. As users hover over a star, it expands to show more details about the notification. Clicking a star will open a detailed view with customization options. The galaxy will rotate slowly, creating a sense of movement and exploration. This concept will be implemented using @react-three/fiber and gsap for smooth animations and transitions.

Landing Hero Motion Brief

The landing page will feature a continuous 2D motion loop illustrating the transformation of user inputs into personalized notifications. The animation will show icons representing different user activities (e.g., working, exercising) gathering around a central notification hub. The hub will transform these inputs into tailored notifications, which then disperse to the user. This loop will be created using motion/react for seamless transitions and interactions.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The landing page will use an "animated" interaction model with moderate scroll-triggered reveals and hover transitions. Elements will have spring physics for interactive feedback, enhancing the user experience with polished animations.

Non-Functional Requirements

• The system must ensure data privacy and secure access control for all user information.
• The application should be highly responsive and accessible across various devices and platforms.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React for Web
• Backend: Python with FastAPI
• Database: MySQL or MariaDB, using Alembic for migrations
• AI Models: GPT 5.4 for user-friendly responses
• AI Tools: Litellm for LLM Routing
• Local Orchestration: Docker and docker-compose
• Server-side Orchestration: Kubernetes

Assumptions and Constraints

• The system assumes users have compatible devices for receiving notifications.
• Constraints include ensuring compliance with local data protection regulations.

Glossary
