Signature Design Concept

The hardy-application will feature an interactive "task galaxy" on the homepage. Users will see their tasks represented as stars in a galaxy. Clicking a star will open a task card with details, while dragging will rotate the galaxy, allowing users to explore their tasks in a visually engaging way. Hovering over a star will highlight connections to related tasks, creating an immersive experience. This concept will be implemented using @react-three/fiber and @react-three/drei for 3D interactions, providing a unique and memorable user experience.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The landing page will utilize a "parallax" interaction model, creating a sense of depth as users scroll through their tasks. Decorative layers will move at different speeds, enhancing the visual storytelling without disrupting the natural flow of content. Internal pages will maintain a "static" interaction model to prioritize readability and quick access to task information.

Non-Functional Requirements
