jungle-todo System Requirements Document

Introduction

The purpose of this document is to outline the system requirements for the "jungle-todo" project, a single-page application designed to provide users with a minimal and efficient task management experience. This document will detail the functional and non-functional requirements, user personas, design concepts, and technical specifications necessary for the successful implementation of the project.

System Overview

The "jungle-todo" application is a single-page application (SPA) focused on delivering a streamlined and minimalistic user experience for managing tasks. The application will allow users to create, edit, and delete tasks efficiently without navigating away from the main interface. This approach ensures a seamless interaction flow and enhances productivity by minimizing distractions.

Functional Requirements

• As a User, I should be able to add new tasks.
• As a User, I should be able to edit existing tasks.
• As a User, I should be able to delete tasks.
• As a User, I should be able to view all tasks on a single page.

User Personas

• User: The primary user of the application who needs to manage personal tasks efficiently. They value simplicity and quick access to their task list without unnecessary features.

Visuals Colors and Theme

• text_muted: #8D99AE (Muted Gray)
• border: rgba(38, 70, 83, 0.2)

Signature Design Concept

The "jungle-todo" application will feature an interactive "Task Jungle" concept on the homepage. Users will navigate through a lush, animated jungle scene where each task is represented as a unique plant or tree. Clicking on a plant will reveal task details and options to edit or delete. The jungle will subtly animate with gentle swaying and occasional wildlife sounds, creating an immersive and calming environment. This concept will be implemented using @react-three/fiber for 3D elements and gsap for smooth animations and transitions.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The interaction model for the "jungle-todo" landing page will be "animated". This will include scroll-triggered reveals of task details, hover transitions on task elements, and spring physics for interactive components. The internal pages will maintain a "static" interaction model to ensure clarity and focus on task management.

Non-Functional Requirements

• The application must load within 2 seconds on a standard broadband connection.
• The interface should be responsive and accessible on devices of various sizes, including desktops, tablets, and smartphones.
• The application should support the latest versions of major web browsers.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React for Web
• Backend: FastAPI
• Database: MySQL or MariaDB, using Alembic for migrations
• Local orchestration: Docker, docker-compose

Assumptions and Constraints

• The application will be developed and tested primarily in the Indian timezone (IST).
• Currency and locale-specific settings are not applicable as the application focuses solely on task management.
• The application will not include advanced features such as task categorization or deadlines to maintain simplicity.

Glossary

• SPA: Single Page Application
• GSAP: GreenSock Animation Platform
• React: A JavaScript library for building user interfaces
• FastAPI: A modern, fast (high-performance) web framework for building APIs with Python 3.6+ based on standard Python type hints
• Docker: A set of platform-as-a-service products that use OS-level virtualization to deliver software in packages called containers

This document provides a comprehensive overview of the requirements and design considerations for the "jungle-todo" project, ensuring a clear path forward for development and implementation.
