deep-design System Requirements Document

Introduction

The purpose of this document is to outline the system requirements for the "deep-design" project, a personal to-do application focused purely on logic and functionality without any design elements. This document will provide a comprehensive overview of the system, functional requirements, user personas, visual themes, and more.

System Overview

The "deep-design" project is a personal to-do application designed to help users manage their tasks efficiently. The application will focus on core functionalities such as task creation, categorization, and management without any design embellishments. This ensures a streamlined and efficient user experience, emphasizing logic and functionality.

Functional Requirements

• As a User, I should be able to create new tasks.
• As a User, I should be able to categorize tasks.
• As a User, I should be able to view all tasks.
• As a User, I should be able to mark tasks as complete.
• As a User, I should be able to delete tasks.

User Personas

• User: The primary user of the application who will manage personal tasks and categories.

Visuals Colors and Theme

Since the project focuses on logic without design, a minimal color palette will be provided for potential future use:

• primary: #2C3E50 (a deep blue for potential branding)
• primary_light: #34495E (a lighter tint of primary)
• secondary: #E74C3C (a contrasting coral for emphasis)
• accent: #F39C12 (a vibrant orange for CTAs)
• highlight: #F1C40F (a warm gold for notifications)
• bg: #ECF0F1 (a light grey for background)
• surface: rgba(236, 240, 241, 0.8) (a semi-transparent light grey for panels)
• text: #2C3E50 (dark blue for primary text)
• text_muted: #95A5A6 (a softer grey for secondary text)
• border: rgba(44, 62, 80, 0.2) (a subtle blue-grey for borders)

Signature Design Concept

For the "deep-design" project, the focus is on functionality over aesthetics. However, if a design concept were to be considered, it could involve a "Blueprint Mode" where tasks are displayed as architectural sketches. Users could interact with tasks as if they were building blocks, dragging and dropping them into different categories or statuses. This interactive concept would use libraries like framer-motion for smooth drag-and-drop animations and transitions.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The interaction model for the "deep-design" project is "static," focusing on clarity and functionality without motion. However, if expanded, the "Blueprint Mode" could introduce moderate animations for task interactions.

Non-Functional Requirements

• The application must be responsive and perform well on various devices.
• Data integrity must be maintained for all task operations.
• The system should be scalable to accommodate future enhancements.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React for Web
• Backend: Python with FastAPI
• Database: MySQL or MariaDB, using Alembic for migrations
• Local Orchestration: Docker and docker-compose

Assumptions and Constraints

• The application is intended for personal use and does not require multi-user support.
• The focus is on functionality, with no immediate plans for design enhancements.
• The application will operate within the Indian timezone and locale settings.

Glossary

• Task: An item that the user needs to complete.
• Category: A label or group under which tasks can be organized.
• User: The individual using the application to manage personal tasks.
