Brave-System

Introduction

The Brave-System is a travel journaling application designed to help users save memories, photos, locations, and organize trips by country. This document outlines the system requirements for the Brave-System, incorporating the latest updates requested by Komal Gohil.

System Overview

Brave-System is a digital platform that allows users to document their travel experiences. Users can save photos, record memories, and organize their trips by country. The platform supports solo travelers and those traveling with friends, providing a collaborative space to share and enhance travel experiences.

Functional Requirements

• As a Solo Traveler, I should be able to save memories of my trips.
• As a Solo Traveler, I should be able to upload photos from my travels.
• As a Solo Traveler, I should be able to record the locations I visit.
• As a Solo Traveler, I should be able to organize my trips by country.

User Personas

• Solo Traveler: An individual who travels alone and wants to document their journey.
• Friend: A user who joins another user's trip journal to share and view travel experiences.

Core User Flows

Signature Design Concept

The Brave-System will feature an interactive travel map on the homepage. Users can click on different countries to view their travel journals. Each country will be represented by a pin that, when hovered over, displays a brief summary of the trips taken there. Clicking a pin will zoom into a detailed view of the trip, showcasing photos and memories in a dynamic carousel. This concept will be implemented using @react-three/fiber for 3D map interactions and framer-motion for smooth transitions and animations.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The landing page will utilize a "parallax" interaction model, providing a layered depth effect as users scroll through their travel memories. The map and journal entries will move at different speeds, creating an immersive storytelling experience. Internal pages will adopt a "static" model for clarity and ease of use.

Non-Functional Requirements

• The system should support high-resolution photo uploads.
• The application must ensure data privacy and secure access control.
• The platform should be responsive and accessible on both web and mobile devices.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React for Web
• Backend: Python, FastAPI
• Database: MySQL or MariaDB, with alembic for migrations
• AI Models: Not specified
• Local Orchestration: Docker, docker-compose
• Server-side Orchestration: Kubernetes

Assumptions and Constraints

• The application will primarily target users in Vietnam, considering local preferences and timezone.
• The system must handle concurrent users efficiently, especially during peak travel seasons.
