System Requirements Document (SRD)

Project Name: gentle-website

1. Introduction

The gentle-website is a personal study and goal tracking platform designed to empower users like John Doe123 in Israel to document their daily progress, compare it with past achievements, and optionally share their growth with others. This website aims to provide a seamless and intuitive experience for individuals who want to stay consistent with their studies and personal goals while celebrating their progress over time.

The system will cater to both personal and optional social sharing needs, ensuring flexibility and privacy for users. Locale-specific defaults such as timezone (Israel Standard Time) and currency (ILS, if applicable) will be considered during implementation.

• Document daily activities and progress related to their studies and goals.
• Compare current progress with past data to visualize growth and trends.
• Optionally share progress with others while maintaining control over privacy settings.

The system will be accessible via web browsers and optimized for mobile devices. It will feature a user-friendly interface, robust data visualization tools, and secure data storage to ensure reliability and ease of use.

6. Signature Design Concept

Interactive Progress Garden

The homepage of gentle-website will feature an Interactive Progress Garden, a visually stunning and engaging design concept.

• Visuals:
  The garden will grow and evolve based on the user's progress. Each goal or study category will be represented as a unique plant or tree. As users document their daily activities, the plants will grow taller, bloom flowers, or bear fruit, symbolizing their achievements.

• Animations:
  Subtle animations will bring the garden to life—leaves rustling, flowers blooming, and fruits ripening as users interact with the platform.

• Interactions:
  Users can hover over plants to see detailed progress stats, click on them to open specific goal timelines, and drag-and-drop new seeds (representing new goals) into the garden.

• Color Shifts:
  The garden's background will subtly change colors based on the time of day, transitioning from sunrise hues in the morning to twilight tones in the evening.

This concept will make the homepage unforgettable, motivating users to return daily to nurture their garden and visualize their growth.
