Signature Design Concept

The homepage of the "kinetic-build" trading platform will feature an interactive financial dashboard that dynamically updates with real-time market data. Users can hover over various sections to reveal detailed analytics and insights. The dashboard will employ a "living graph" concept, where data points animate and connect in real-time, providing a visually engaging experience. The use of motion/react will ensure smooth transitions and interactions.

Landing Hero Motion Brief

The landing page will showcase a continuous loop animation of a trading chart that evolves as market conditions change. The animation will depict a series of candlesticks forming, with annotations highlighting significant market events. Users can interact with the chart by clicking on specific data points to view detailed information. The animation will be built using motion/react for seamless integration and responsiveness.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

• Intended Interaction Model: Animated
• The landing page will feature moderate scroll-triggered reveals and hover transitions, enhancing user engagement without overwhelming them. Interactive elements will employ spring physics for a polished experience.

Non-Functional Requirements

• The platform must ensure high availability and reliability to support continuous trading activities.
• Security measures must be implemented to protect user data and transactions.
• The system should be scalable to accommodate a growing number of users and trading volume.

Tech Stack

• Backend: Python, FastAPI
• Database RDBMS: MySQL, use alembic for migrations
• Local orchestration: Docker, docker-compose
• Server-side orchestration: Kubernetes
