System Requirements Document (SRD)

Project Name: meteor-roadmap

1. Introduction

Welcome to the System Requirements Document for meteor-roadmap, a project envisioned by Prince Gajjar from India. This innovative platform aims to simplify the viewing experience for movie and series enthusiasts by dynamically generating a roadmap and tree structure for interconnected stories. Whether users are diving into a specific title or exploring broader universes, meteor-roadmap ensures clarity and consistency without relying on static databases.

This document outlines the system's requirements, functionality, and design concepts to bring this vision to life.

2. System Overview

The meteor-roadmap platform is designed to dynamically fetch and display movie and series roadmaps using AI. Users can input either a specific title or a broader term (e.g., "Marvel Universe"), and the system will generate a roadmap accordingly:

• Specific Title Search: Displays the roadmap with the searched movie or series highlighted within the sequence.
• Broader Universe Search: Generates a roadmap of interconnected movies or series without highlighting any specific title.

The platform leverages AI models to fetch real-time data, ensuring up-to-date and consistent results every time. The roadmap is presented as an interactive tree structure, visually guiding users through the sequence of prequels, sequels, and related titles.

3. Functional Requirements

• As a User, I should be able to search for a specific movie or series title and see its roadmap with the searched title highlighted within the sequence.
• As a User, I should be able to search for a broader term (e.g., "Marvel Universe") and see a roadmap of interconnected movies or series without any specific title highlighted.
• As a User, I should see identical standalone movies or series displayed as a single node in the roadmap.
• As a User, I should see interconnected movies or series displayed in a tree structure, showing the correct sequence of prequels and sequels.
• As a User, I should be able to interact with the roadmap (e.g., zoom, pan, click nodes for details).

4. User Personas

1. Casual Viewer

• Description: Someone who occasionally watches movies or series and wants guidance on what to watch next.
• Needs: Simple and intuitive roadmap with minimal effort required to understand sequences.

2. Dedicated Fan

• Description: A passionate viewer who follows specific universes or franchises closely.
• Needs: Detailed roadmap with accurate sequences and connections between movies and series.

3. Explorer

• Description: A user who is curious about discovering new universes or franchises.
• Needs: Broader roadmaps without specific highlights, showcasing interconnected stories.

5. Visuals Colors and Theme

The visual design of meteor-roadmap should evoke a sense of exploration and storytelling. Suggested color palette:

• Primary Colors:

  • Midnight Blue (#2C3E50) for the background to create a cinematic feel.
  • Neon Green (#27AE60) for highlighted nodes to represent the searched title.

• Secondary Colors:

  • Soft White (#ECF0F1) for text and labels to ensure readability.
  • Golden Yellow (#F1C40F) for connections between nodes to symbolize continuity.

• Accent Colors:

  • Crimson Red (#E74C3C) for error messages or alerts.
  • Sky Blue (#3498DB) for interactive elements like buttons and links.

The theme should be modern, sleek, and immersive, with subtle animations to enhance user engagement.

6. Signature Design Concept

Interactive Cinematic Universe Tree

The homepage of meteor-roadmap will feature an interactive galaxy map representing interconnected movie and series universes. Here's the detailed concept:

• Visual Design:
  The homepage will resemble a galaxy filled with stars, where each star represents a movie or series. Clicking on a star zooms into its roadmap, revealing interconnected nodes in a dynamic tree structure.

• Animations:

  • Stars will twinkle subtly to create a sense of wonder.
  • Nodes will expand and contract smoothly when clicked, mimicking the opening of a storybook.
  • The searched title will pulse with neon green light, drawing attention to its position in the roadmap.

• Interactions:

  • Users can drag and pan across the galaxy to explore different universes.
  • Hovering over a node will display a tooltip with the movie or series title, release year, and a brief description.
  • Clicking a node will zoom in to show its detailed roadmap.

• Transitions:

  • When switching between universes or roadmaps, the screen will fade into a starry night sky, enhancing the cinematic experience.

This design concept ensures the homepage is unforgettable, engaging users from the moment they arrive.

7. Non-Functional Requirements

• Performance: The system should fetch and render roadmaps within 2 seconds for optimal user experience.
• Scalability: The platform must handle simultaneous searches without performance degradation.
• Accessibility: Ensure compliance with WCAG 2.1 standards for visually impaired users.
• Security: Protect user search data and interactions using HTTPS and secure APIs.
• Localization: Default to Indian timezone (IST) and support English language.

9. Assumptions and Constraints

Assumptions

• Users will have internet access to interact with the platform.
• AI models will fetch accurate and up-to-date data for movies and series.
• The roadmap will prioritize visual clarity over excessive detail.

Constraints

• No database will be used; all data will be fetched dynamically via AI.
• The system must handle complex universes like Marvel and DC without compromising performance.

10. Glossary

• Roadmap: A visual representation of interconnected movies or series in a sequence.
• Tree Structure: A hierarchical visualization showing relationships between prequels, sequels, and standalone titles.
