System Requirements Document for autumn-so

1. Introduction

The project "autumn-so" aims to assist users in creating an app from their own ideas. The product is designed to provide a friendly and inviting environment for users to explore their creativity and turn their app concepts into functional applications.

2. System Overview

The system is designed to guide users through the process of transforming their app ideas into reality. It includes a series of pages that facilitate idea submission, app creation, and usage. The primary user of the system is the "App user," who interacts with the application to provide their app idea and subsequently use the resulting app. The system is delivered as a custom UI with a focus on accessibility and user engagement.

2a. Product Interpretation and Delivery Boundary

The product is delivered as a web application with three main pages: Landing, Idea, and App. Each page serves a specific purpose in the user journey, from introducing the product to collecting app ideas and finally allowing users to interact with their created app. The system does not require user accounts or identity verification, ensuring ease of access and use. The current scope is limited to the creation and use of apps based on user-provided ideas, with no additional app management or marketplace functionalities.
