Project-Aathvan System Requirements Document

Introduction

Project-Aathvan is designed to create a platform for re-uploading and archiving videos from various platforms. The primary goal is to ensure that important content, which may be deleted or removed from its original source, is preserved and accessible to a wide audience.

System Overview

Project-Aathvan will serve as a centralized repository for videos sourced from different platforms. The system will focus on archiving content that is at risk of deletion or removal, providing users with a reliable means to access and preserve valuable information.

Functional Requirements as Story Points

• As a User, I should be able to upload videos from different platforms to the archive.
• As a User, I should be able to search for archived videos using keywords or tags.
• As a User, I should be able to view and play archived videos directly on the platform.
• As a User, I should be able to download archived videos for offline access.
• As a User, I should be able to categorize and tag videos for better organization.
• As a User, I should be able to receive notifications about newly archived content.
• As an Admin, I should be able to manage user access and permissions.
• As an Admin, I should be able to monitor and manage the storage capacity of the archive.
• As an Admin, I should be able to implement a system feature to archive important content to prevent deletion or removal.

User Personas

• General User: Individuals who access the platform to view and download archived videos.
• Content Contributor: Users who upload and tag videos to the archive.
• Administrator: Users responsible for managing the platform, user permissions, and storage.

Core User Flows

• User uploads video -> tags and categorizes video -> video is archived and accessible.
• User searches for video -> finds video -> views or downloads video.
• Admin monitors storage -> receives alert for low storage -> manages storage capacity.

Signature Design Concept

The homepage of Project-Aathvan will feature an interactive video mosaic. Users will see a dynamic grid of video thumbnails that rearrange and animate as they hover over them. Each thumbnail will expand slightly, providing a preview of the video content. Clicking a thumbnail will open the video in a modal window for viewing. This interactive mosaic will be built using motion/react for smooth animations and transitions, creating an engaging and memorable first impression.

Landing Hero Motion Brief

The landing hero will depict a series of video thumbnails flowing into a central archive icon. As users scroll, the thumbnails animate into the icon, symbolizing the archiving process. The animation will loop every 10 seconds, showing the continuous flow of content into the archive. This will be achieved using motion/react for seamless transitions and responsive behavior.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

• Intended Interaction Model: Animated
• The landing page will feature moderate scroll-triggered reveals and hover transitions, with spring physics on interactive elements to enhance user engagement.

Non-Functional Requirements

• The system must support high availability to ensure continuous access to archived content.
• The platform should be scalable to accommodate increasing volumes of video content.
• Data security measures must be in place to protect user data and archived content.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React for Web
• Backend: Python, FastAPI
• Database: MySQL or MariaDB, using Alembic for migrations
• Local Orchestration: Docker, docker-compose
• Server-Side Orchestration: Kubernetes

Assumptions and Constraints

• The platform will primarily target users in India, considering local content regulations and preferences.
• The system will require robust storage solutions to handle large volumes of video data.
• Internet bandwidth and speed may vary among users, affecting video upload and playback performance.

Glossary

• Archive: The process of storing and preserving video content for future access.
• Thumbnail: A small image representing a video, used for preview purposes.
• Modal Window: A pop-up window that displays content over the current page without navigating away.
