System Requirements Document (SRD)

Project Name: fiery-list

1. Introduction

The fiery-list project is a to-do list application designed for users in India (IN) with a unique retro junkyard theme. The app aims to provide a visually striking and functional experience for task management, goal setting, and AI-driven task prioritization. This document outlines the system requirements for fiery-list, ensuring alignment with Hemen Fx's vision and user needs.

2. System Overview

The fiery-list application is a task management system that allows users to create, organize, and prioritize tasks efficiently. It incorporates a retro junkyard aesthetic to deliver a visually engaging experience. Key features include:

• User authentication and authorization.
• Task CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations.
• Categorization of tasks.
• AI-based task sorting based on user-defined goals.
• A dedicated goals page for listing and prioritizing user objectives.
• A clean and intuitive dashboard for task management.

The system is designed to cater to individual users, providing a personalized experience while leveraging AI to enhance productivity.

3. Functional Requirements

User Stories:

• As a User, I should be able to create, read, update, and delete tasks.
• As a User, I should be able to categorize tasks into different groups.
• As a User, I should be able to set goals on a dedicated goals page.
• As a User, I should be able to view tasks sorted by AI based on the order of my goals.
• As a User, I should be able to log in and manage my tasks securely.
• As a User, I should be able to view a retro junkyard-themed dashboard for task management.

4. User Personas

1. Admin

• Manages user accounts and system settings.
• Ensures smooth operation of AI-based task sorting.

2. User

• Creates and manages tasks.
• Sets goals and views AI-prioritized tasks.
• Interacts with the retro junkyard-themed interface.

5. Visuals Colors and Theme

The fiery-list app will embrace a retro junkyard theme, incorporating:

• Primary Colors: Rust orange (#D35400), faded teal (#1ABC9C), and vintage yellow (#F1C40F).
• Secondary Colors: Charcoal gray (#34495E) and muted beige (#F5F5DC).
• Textures: Rugged, distressed textures resembling worn metal and aged wood.
• Typography: Bold, vintage fonts like "Press Start 2P" or "Courier New" for a retro feel.
• Icons: Junkyard-inspired icons such as gears, bolts, and tools.

6. Signature Design Concept

The fiery-list homepage will feature a dynamic junkyard scene that immerses users in the retro theme:

Concept Details:

• Background: A panoramic junkyard landscape with piles of vintage items like rusted cars, old tools, and worn-out signs.
• Interactive Elements:
  • Clicking on a rusted car hood opens the "Goals Page."
  • Hovering over a toolbox reveals task categories.
  • A rotating gear animation symbolizes AI sorting tasks.
• Animations:
  • Subtle smoke rising from the junk piles.
  • Flickering neon signs displaying motivational quotes.
  • Tasks appear as "scrap pieces" that users can drag and drop into categories.
• Micro-interactions:
  • Clicking on a task causes it to "crumple" into a ball before being deleted.
  • Completed tasks are stamped with a vintage "DONE" label.
• Transitions: Smooth transitions between pages with a sliding effect resembling a conveyor belt.

This bold and eccentric design will make fiery-list unforgettable, offering users a fun and engaging experience while managing their tasks.

7. Non-Functional Requirements

• Performance: The system should respond to user actions within 2 seconds.
• Scalability: Support up to 10,000 concurrent users.
• Security: Ensure secure authentication and data encryption using industry standards.
• Availability: Maintain 99.9% uptime.
• Localization: Default timezone set to IST (Indian Standard Time).

8. Tech Stack

Frontend:

• React for Web

Backend:

• Python
• FastAPI

Database:

• RDBMS: MySQL with Alembic for migrations.
• VectorDB: WeaviateDB for AI task sorting.

AI Models:

• GPT 5.2 for user-friendly responses.
• Claude 4.5 Opas for coding and academic tasks.

AI Tools:

• Litellm for LLM Routing.
• Langchain for AI workflow management.

Orchestration:

• Docker for local orchestration.
• Kubernetes for server-side orchestration.

9. Assumptions and Constraints

• The system assumes users will primarily access the app via web browsers.
• AI sorting relies on accurate goal prioritization by users.
• The retro junkyard theme may limit the use of certain modern design elements.
• Budget constraints may impact the extent of animations and textures.

10. Glossary

• CRUD: Create, Read, Update, Delete.
• AI: Artificial Intelligence.
• RDBMS: Relational Database Management System.
• VectorDB: Database optimized for vector-based data storage and retrieval.
• IST: Indian Standard Time.
• LLM: Large Language Model.
