prism-system System Requirements Document

1. Introduction

The purpose of this document is to outline the system requirements for the prism-system project, which aims to develop a simple single-page design for a to-do application. This document will detail the functional and non-functional requirements, user personas, core user flows, visual design, and technical specifications necessary for the successful implementation of the project.

2. System Overview

The prism-system is a straightforward, single-page application designed to manage to-do lists efficiently. It will provide users with a minimalistic interface to add, view, and manage their tasks. The system will focus on simplicity and ease of use, ensuring that users can interact with their to-do lists without unnecessary complexity.

3. Functional Requirements

• As a User, I should be able to add a new task to my to-do list.
• As a User, I should be able to view all tasks in my to-do list.
• As a User, I should be able to mark tasks as completed.
• As a User, I should be able to delete tasks from my to-do list.

4. User Personas

• User: An individual who wants to manage their daily tasks using a simple and intuitive interface.

5. Core User Flows

• User opens the application -> User adds a new task -> Task appears in the list.
• User views the list of tasks -> User marks a task as completed -> Task is visually updated to indicate completion.
• User views the list of tasks -> User deletes a task -> Task is removed from the list.

6. Visuals Colors and Theme

• primary: #3498db (a calming blue for the main interface elements)
• primary_light: #85c1e9 (a lighter blue for hover states)
• secondary: #e74c3c (a contrasting red for important actions like delete)
• accent: #f1c40f (a vibrant yellow for call-to-action buttons)
• highlight: #f39c12 (a warm orange for notifications and active states)
• bg: #ecf0f1 (a light grey for the background)
• surface: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.9) (a soft white for cards and panels)
• text: #2c3e50 (a dark grey for primary text)
• text_muted: #95a5a6 (a muted grey for secondary text)
• border: rgba(44, 62, 80, 0.2) (a subtle border color)

7. Signature Design Concept

The prism-system will feature an interactive "task carousel" on the homepage. Users can swipe through their tasks in a carousel format, with each task card flipping to reveal details or options when clicked. This dynamic interaction will be powered by framer-motion for smooth animations and transitions. The carousel will provide a visually engaging way to manage tasks, making the experience both functional and enjoyable.

8. Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The landing page will employ an "animated" interaction model. This will include scroll-triggered reveals and hover transitions to enhance user engagement. The task carousel will feature spring physics for a natural feel when interacting with task cards. Internal pages will maintain a "static" model to ensure clarity and focus on task management.

9. Non-Functional Requirements

• The application should load within 2 seconds on a standard internet connection.
• The design should be responsive and work seamlessly on both desktop and mobile devices.
• The application should be accessible, adhering to WCAG 2.1 guidelines.

10. Tech Stack

• Frontend: React for Web
• Backend: Not applicable for a single-page design
• Database: Not applicable for a single-page design
• AI Models: Not applicable
• AI Tools: Not applicable
• Local Orchestration: Not applicable
• Server-side Orchestration: Not applicable

11. Assumptions and Constraints

• The application will be developed as a single-page application without backend integration.
• The design will prioritize simplicity and ease of use.
• No user authentication or data persistence is required.

12. Glossary

• Task: An item on the to-do list that the user can add, view, complete, or delete.
• Carousel: A rotating set of elements that can be navigated by the user, typically used for displaying content in a compact space.
