Feral-Idea

Introduction

The "Feral-Idea" project aims to create a basic portfolio for a full-stack developer. This document outlines the system requirements for the project, ensuring that the portfolio effectively showcases the developer's skills and projects.

System Overview

The Feral-Idea project is designed to provide a comprehensive yet straightforward portfolio for a full-stack developer. The portfolio will include general sections such as an introduction, skills, projects, contact information, and any additional relevant content that highlights the developer's expertise and experience.

Functional Requirements

• As a User, I should be able to view an introduction section that provides a brief overview of the developer.
• As a User, I should be able to see a list of skills that the developer possesses.
• As a User, I should be able to browse through a portfolio of projects that the developer has worked on.
• As a User, I should be able to access contact information to reach out to the developer.
• As a User, I should be able to navigate the portfolio easily with a user-friendly interface.

User Personas

• Visitor: An individual interested in learning more about the developer's skills and projects. This could include potential employers, collaborators, or clients.

Core User Flows

• Visitor lands on the homepage -> reads the introduction -> explores the skills section -> views the project portfolio -> accesses contact information.

Visuals Colors and Theme

• primary: #1A73E8 (a deep blue for a professional look)
• primary_light: #E8F0FE (a light blue for hover states)
• secondary: #FF7043 (a coral hue for emphasis and headlines)
• accent: #FFD54F (a vibrant yellow for CTAs and active states)
• highlight: #FFB300 (a warm amber for notifications and active indicators)
• bg: #FFFFFF (a clean white for the background)
• surface: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8) (a semi-transparent white for cards/panels)
• text: #202124 (a dark gray for primary text)
• text_muted: #5F6368 (a softer gray for secondary text)
• border: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) (a subtle gray for borders)

Signature Design Concept

The homepage of the Feral-Idea portfolio will feature an interactive 3D rotating cube using @react-three/fiber. Each face of the cube will represent a different section of the portfolio (Introduction, Skills, Projects, Contact). Users can click on a face to "open" that section, which will smoothly transition into the detailed view. This engaging interaction will make the portfolio memorable and encourage exploration.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The intended interaction model for the landing page is "animated". The portfolio will feature moderate scroll-triggered reveals and hover transitions, providing a polished and engaging user experience. Internal pages will maintain a "static" interaction model to ensure clarity and readability.

Non-Functional Requirements

• The portfolio should load quickly and be responsive across various devices and screen sizes.
• The design should be accessible, adhering to WCAG 2.1 guidelines.
• The system should be maintainable and allow for easy updates to content and projects.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React for Web
• Backend: Python with FastAPI
• Database: MongoDB for storing project details and contact information
• AI Tools: Not applicable
• Local Orchestration: Docker
• Server-Side Orchestration: Kubernetes

Assumptions and Constraints

• The portfolio will primarily be accessed by potential employers and collaborators.
• The system must be designed to handle moderate traffic without performance degradation.
• The portfolio will be hosted on a cloud platform to ensure scalability and reliability.

Glossary

• Full-Stack Developer: A developer skilled in both frontend and backend technologies.
• Portfolio: A collection of work samples and information showcasing a developer's skills and projects.
