jade-page System Requirements Document

Introduction

The purpose of this document is to outline the system requirements for the "jade-page" project, which is a single-page todo application with a minimalist design. This document will serve as a guide for the development and implementation of the project.

System Overview

The "jade-page" project aims to deliver a simple, user-friendly todo application that operates entirely on a single page. The focus is on providing a clean interface with essential task management functionalities, ensuring ease of use and efficiency for users.

Functional Requirements

• As a User, I should be able to add new tasks to my todo list.
• As a User, I should be able to edit existing tasks.
• As a User, I should be able to delete tasks from my todo list.

User Personas

• User: The primary user of the application who will manage their tasks using the todo list.

Visuals Colors and Theme

• primary: #4A90E2 (a calming blue to represent clarity and focus)
• primary_light: #A6C8F0 (a lighter tint of the primary color for hover states)
• secondary: #F5A623 (a warm amber for emphasis and highlights)
• accent: #D0021B (a vibrant red for call-to-action buttons and active states)
• highlight: #F8E71C (a bright yellow for notifications and active indicators)
• bg: #FFFFFF (a clean white background for simplicity)
• surface: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.9) (a slightly transparent white for card backgrounds)
• text: #333333 (a dark gray for primary text)
• text_muted: #9B9B9B (a lighter gray for secondary text and labels)
• border: rgba(204, 204, 204, 0.5) (a subtle gray for borders)

Signature Design Concept

The homepage of the "jade-page" will feature an interactive, minimalist design where tasks appear as floating cards on a serene, animated background. Using framer-motion, each task card will gently float and sway, creating a sense of calm and focus. Users can click and drag tasks to reorder them, with smooth transitions and animations enhancing the experience. The background will subtly change hues throughout the day, using gsap for time-based color transitions, providing a dynamic yet unobtrusive visual experience.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The landing page will utilize a "parallax" interaction model, where the background and task cards move at different speeds as the user scrolls, creating a layered depth effect. This approach will enhance the minimalist design by adding a touch of visual interest without overwhelming the user. Internal pages, if any, will maintain a "static" interaction model to ensure clarity and focus on task management.

Non-Functional Requirements

• The application should load quickly and efficiently on all modern web browsers.
• The user interface must be responsive and accessible on both desktop and mobile devices.
• Data persistence should be ensured across sessions using local storage.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React for Web
• Backend: None required for a single-page application
• Database: Local storage for task persistence

Assumptions and Constraints

• The application will be developed for users in India, considering local time zones and preferences.
• The design will remain minimalistic, focusing on core functionalities without additional features.

Glossary

• Task: An item on the todo list that the user can add, edit, or delete.
• Single-page application: A web application that interacts with the user by dynamically rewriting the current page rather than loading entire new pages from the server.
