Introduction

This document outlines the system requirements for the "rapid-android" project, a web series application named "Masti" targeting users in India aged 18 to 55.

System Overview

The "Masti" application is designed to provide users with a seamless experience for browsing and watching web series. The app will feature a splash screen, home page, categories, search functionality, and more. It will initially use mock data for design purposes.

Functional Requirements

• As a User, I should see a splash screen when the app starts.
• As a User, I should be able to browse web series by categories.
• As a User, I should be able to search for web series.
• As a User, I should be able to view trending and latest releases.
• As a User, I should be able to navigate through different sections like Home, Upcoming, Premium, Search, and More.

User Personas

• Guest User: Can browse and search for web series.
• Registered User: Can access additional features like personalized recommendations.
• Admin: Manages content and user accounts.

Signature Design Concept

The homepage will feature an interactive 3D carousel of web series covers using @react-three/fiber and @react-three/drei. Users can swipe or drag to rotate the carousel, with each cover expanding on hover to reveal more details. The background will subtly change colors based on the time of day, creating a dynamic and immersive experience.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

• Interaction Model: Parallax
• Motion Direction: The landing page will utilize layered depth via scroll, with decorative layers translating at different speeds. Content will scroll naturally, providing a visually rich first impression.

• The UI should be responsive across various Android devices.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React Native for mobile app
• Backend: FastAPI
• Database: MongoDB
• AI Models: GPT 5.4 for user-friendly responses
• AI Tools: Litellm for LLM Routing
• Local Orchestration: Docker
• Server-side Orchestration: Kubernetes

Assumptions and Constraints

• The app will initially use mock data for design and testing.
• The app will be developed for Android devices only.
• User data privacy and security will be prioritized.

Glossary

• Splash Screen: The initial screen displayed when the app is launched.
• Carousel: A rotating set of images or content.
• Parallax: A scrolling technique where background images move slower than foreground images, creating an illusion of depth.
