System Requirements Document for cms-playahead-lunarstorm

1. Introduction

This System Requirements Document describes cms-playahead-lunarstorm, a new social community platform inspired by Playahead and Lunarstorm. It defines the current product’s accepted capabilities, users, page ownership, workflows, visual direction, and technical boundaries.

The platform is for Community Members who want a customizable personal presence and ongoing social interaction, and Community Moderators who oversee forums and groups. The product combines profiles, photos, music, messages, groups, discussions, and community activity in a contemporary interpretation of expressive early social-web culture.

2. System Overview

The system is a browser-based social community platform with a React frontend, a shared FastAPI backend, MariaDB for durable application data, and Redis for the accepted shared state, caching, queue, or coordination need. The backend owns application APIs and domain modules; these features do not require separate service processes.

Community Members create and customize profiles, share photos and posts, connect with others, and participate in community activities. Community Moderators oversee forum and group participation through restricted workflows. Application-owned identity supports enrollment and returning access to durable community state. The source does not establish differentiated permissions beyond the moderator oversight boundary for forums and groups.

Current capabilities include profiles and customization; guestbooks; blogs and comments; albums, photo comments and ratings; friends; groups; a photo-and-status feed; private messages; real-time browser chat; forums; VIP or Pro membership; appreciation badges; profile and activity statistics; relationship statuses; compatibility tests; activity points and visibility; events; radio; interactive polls, quizzes, and humor; and SMS notifications or messaging and premium features.

The supplied historical screenshots are visual inspiration only. They do not prescribe a page layout or supply current product facts. The platform is not a reproduction of the old sites’ exact layouts or dated browser-era chrome.

2a. Product Interpretation and Delivery Boundary

The ordered page contract is the current information architecture. Landing and Sign Up are anonymous entry points; Moderator Login is the anonymous verification entry for the moderator role. The remaining contracted pages require application identity as specified below. Community Members self-enroll before creating durable profiles or participating in protected workflows, and returning members verify their identity to resume their own state. Moderators are provisioned for the moderator role and verify that role before restricted forum or group oversight.

The platform owns its community features and durable state. SMS delivery and premium features are accepted capabilities, but no SMS provider, payment provider, pricing, or external service is specified. Radio is an integrated streaming capability; no station, catalogue, or streaming provider is specified. Flash is mentioned as a historical technical detail, not a current implementation requirement. The source does not specify how HTML profile editing is implemented or constrained.

No future-horizon requirements were supplied. No removed concepts were identified.

4. User Personas

Community Member

Provenance: required_inference from accepted member-facing workflows.
A Community Member creates and maintains a personal presence, then uses it to share photos, posts, music favorites, and relationship status. Their distinct work spans both self-expression and interaction: they customize their profile, connect with friends, contribute to guestbooks and discussions, communicate privately or live, and participate in groups, events, and interactive content. They provide profile details, photos, posts, messages, and activity responses; they also receive comments, messages, connection outcomes, and other members’ participation. Success means maintaining a revisitable personal presence and being able to communicate and participate across the community.

Community Moderator

Provenance: required_inference from the accepted forum and group oversight workflows.
A Community Moderator is provisioned for a distinct role and verifies that role before restricted oversight. Their accepted responsibility is limited to overseeing participation in forums and groups, unlike a Community Member’s general participation and personal content work. They interact with members whose community participation is affected by oversight. Success means reaching the restricted forum or group oversight context after role verification and completing that accepted oversight work. No additional biography or moderation powers are specified.

6. Visuals Colors and Theme

The visual direction is Remixed familiarity: social-web nostalgia with street-level energy. The muse is Virgil Abloh. The headline is “A lively, labeled social noticeboard—not a centered SaaS pitch.”

• Dark-mode palette: Main background charcoal #17191B; warm off-white surface #F1EEE8; primary text #F7F4EE; primary action and social signal hot pink #FF4D8D; small labels, counts, and industrial stripe accents safety yellow #F2C94C; muted text #A6A29B. Use dark ink on light panels for body text. Pink and yellow are accents, not reading-surface fills.
• Typography: Oswald bold condensed uppercase for headings, section names, and short labels; Barlow for body, messages, and profile details. Use quoted micro-labels and wide tracking sparingly. Responsive display type scales from 48px mobile to 96px desktop; section titles 28–40px; interface labels 12–14px; body 16px with 1.5 line-height. Use responsive sizing and wrapping at 375px, 768px, and 1280px.
• Shape and framing: Industrial framing, sharp-cornered panels, exposed rules, compact tag-like labels, and short safety-stripe motifs confined to panel edges. VIP tiers, appreciation icons, and activity points use badge forms.
• Layout: A compact top identity and navigation band leads into an asymmetric composition that gives Mingle and member profiles room to breathe. Use modular profile, guestbook, album, and chat panels with varied widths and clear labels. At narrow widths, stack panels in a deliberate reading order and keep navigation and controls accessible.
• Imagery: Member-uploaded photos and customizable profile artwork express identity. Use authentic, varied member photography in profile thumbnails and albums when available, with restrained industrial borders, tagged captions, and optional halftone treatments. Do not substitute unrelated stock imagery for member content.
• Responsive readability: Headlines, wordmarks, labels, numbers, card text, and controls remain fully inside the viewport and their containers at 375px, 768px, and 1280px. Wrap or scale content as needed. Decorative imagery may crop or overlap only where it does not cover readable text or controls.

7. Signature Design Concept

The public Landing page opens as a full-width charcoal noticeboard framed by a thin exposed grid and a short safety-yellow edge. An oversized, left-aligned Oswald welcome headline occupies the left portion, with a yellow bracket label and hot-pink community status tag. A compact join/sign-in action sits directly beneath the headline. On the right, warm off-white tiles form a horizontal strip of member portraits and activity labels, using member imagery when available. At mobile widths, the portrait strip stacks below the headline rather than covering it. Exposed divider rules and restrained industrial labels carry the nostalgic social-web energy without copying the historical screenshots’ layout.

8. Interaction Model & Motion Direction

Interaction Model: Animated
Motion Tempo: expressive
Hero Dimensionality: flat

Landing Hero Motion Brief

• Focal subject: The welcome headline and the member-photo/activity strip, using member imagery when available.
• Input → transformation → outcome: A visitor chooses the join action → the interface gives a quick, purposeful state transition into Sign Up → the visitor reaches the enrollment interaction. This uses only accepted enrollment behavior.
• Motion vocabulary: Snappy, purposeful transitions; ticker-like community signals may move; badges may flip to reveal their details; panel states change quickly. Readable content remains stationary.
• Composed first frame: Charcoal hero with exposed grid, yellow edge detail, oversized left-aligned headline, pink status tag, join action, and fully visible portrait/activity tiles on the right.
• Reduced-motion state: Keep content static; wrap ticker items or make them horizontally scrollable so every item can be brought fully into view. No moving element may cover text or controls.

9. Non-Functional Requirements

1. Responsive readability — explicit (Creative Direction): At 375px, 768px, and 1280px, readable text and controls remain whole and within the viewport and their containers. Use wrapping or scaling where needed.
2. Reduced motion — explicit (Creative Direction): With prefers-reduced-motion, provide a usable static arrangement. Tickers wrap or become horizontally scrollable, and each item can be brought fully into view.
3. Content legibility — explicit (Creative Direction): Do not use tiny body copy to imitate retro interface density. Messages and profile details remain readable.
4. Visual safety — explicit (Creative Direction): Ticker motion, decorative stripes, and image crops must not cover readable text or controls.
5. Member imagery — explicit (Creative Direction): Use member-uploaded photos and customizable profile artwork as the platform’s identity; do not substitute unrelated stock imagery for member content.
6. Durable identity continuity — required_inference (Planning Scope): Enrollment and returning verification must bind members to their own durable community state. Moderator verification must establish the provisioned moderator role before restricted forum or group oversight.
7. Application-owned persistence — explicit (Planning Scope): Durable application state is required. MariaDB is provisioned for application-owned persistent data; Redis is provisioned for the accepted shared caching, state, queue, or coordination need.
8. No unsupported permission expansion — required_inference boundary: Role-restricted moderator oversight is limited to the accepted forum and group contexts. No broader role-based visibility or permission model is specified.

10. Tech Stack

• Frontend: React application UI, as provisioned.
• Backend: FastAPI shared backend for application APIs and domain modules, as provisioned. Reuse this process for feature APIs.
• Persistent database: MariaDB for application-owned durable data, as provisioned.
• Redis: Redis for the accepted shared caching, state, queue, or coordination need, as provisioned.
• Separate services: None specified beyond the provisioned frontend, backend, database, and Redis services. SMS and radio providers are unspecified; do not assume a particular provider.
• Flash: Historical reference only; no current Flash implementation is required or specified.

11. Assumptions and Constraints

• The ordered page names and access surfaces in the Planning Scope are the final page contract and are preserved exactly.
• Community Member self-enrollment and returning identity verification, and provisioned Community Moderator verification, are required journey prerequisites. Enrollment fields, credentials, and verification methods are unspecified.
• The Community Moderator role is limited to restricted forum and group oversight; no additional moderation powers are specified.
• VIP or Pro membership and badge buying are accepted, but payment provider, pricing, purchase terms, and transaction mechanics are unspecified.
• SMS notifications or messaging and premium features are accepted; provider and exact delivery mechanics are unspecified.
• Integrated streaming radio is accepted; station, catalogue, and provider are unspecified.
• The source mentions HTML profile editing with custom code snippets but does not define its current implementation or constraints. No additional profile-code behavior is specified here.
• Flash-based elements are mentioned as historical technical details; no current Flash dependency is specified.
• No future requirements were supplied.
