hollow-project System Requirements Document

Introduction

The hollow-project aims to develop a simple single-page design for a calculator. This document outlines the system requirements, user personas, core user flows, and design specifications for the project.

System Overview

The hollow-project is focused on creating a straightforward, user-friendly calculator interface. The primary goal is to ensure ease of use and accessibility, providing users with a seamless experience for basic arithmetic operations.

Functional Requirements

• As a User, I should be able to perform basic arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
• As a User, I should be able to clear the current calculation to start a new one.
• As a User, I should be able to view the results of my calculations immediately after input.

User Personas

• User: An individual looking to perform basic arithmetic calculations quickly and efficiently.

Core User Flows

• User opens the calculator -> inputs numbers and operations -> views the result -> clears the calculation for a new operation.

Visuals Colors and Theme

• primary: #4A90E2 (a calm blue for the main interface)
• primary_light: #A6C8FF (a lighter blue for hover states)
• secondary: #F5A623 (a warm orange for emphasis and highlights)
• accent: #50E3C2 (a vibrant teal for call-to-action buttons)
• highlight: #F8E71C (a bright yellow for active states)
• bg: #FFFFFF (a clean white for the background)
• surface: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.9) (a slightly transparent white for panels)
• text: #333333 (a dark grey for primary text)
• text_muted: #777777 (a lighter grey for secondary text)
• border: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) (a subtle grey for borders)

Signature Design Concept

The homepage of the hollow-project will feature an interactive calculator interface that mimics a physical calculator. The design will include buttons that depress when clicked, using framer-motion for smooth animations. The calculator will have a sleek, modern look with a glassy surface effect, achieved through CSS and subtle shadowing. Users will experience a tactile response with each button press, enhancing the interaction.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The interaction model for the hollow-project will be "static" with minimal motion, focusing on clarity and ease of use. The calculator interface will feature subtle animations for button presses and result displays, ensuring a polished user experience without overwhelming the user with unnecessary motion.

Non-Functional Requirements

• The calculator must load quickly and operate smoothly on all modern web browsers.
• The interface should be responsive and accessible on both desktop and mobile devices.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React for Web
• Backend: Not applicable for a single-page design
• Database: Not applicable for a single-page design

Assumptions and Constraints

• The project assumes users have basic familiarity with arithmetic operations.
• The design is constrained to a single-page layout with no backend or database requirements.

Glossary

• Arithmetic Operations: Basic mathematical operations including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
• Responsive Design: An approach to web design that makes web pages render well on a variety of devices and window or screen sizes.
