sharefree System Requirements Document

Introduction

The purpose of this document is to outline the system requirements for the "sharefree" project. This project aims to facilitate secure data sharing within a virtual room environment, allowing users to share various types of media such as videos, snaps, and music. The system will ensure that each room is uniquely identified and that the host has control over permissions for room members.

System Overview

The sharefree project is designed to enable users to create virtual rooms where they can securely share data. Each room will have a unique identifier, and the host will have the ability to manage permissions for other users within the room. The system will support the sharing of videos, snaps, and music, ensuring a seamless and secure experience for all participants.

Functional Requirements as Story Points

• As a User, I should be able to create a virtual room with a unique room ID.
• As a Host, I should be able to manage permissions for room members, allowing or restricting access to shared data.
• As a User, I should be able to share videos within the room.
• As a User, I should be able to share snaps within the room.
• As a User, I should be able to share music within the room.
• As a Host, I should be able to grant or deny access to specific users for sharing data in the room.

User Personas

• Host: A user who creates a room and has the authority to manage permissions and access for other users.
• Member: A user who joins a room and can share data based on the permissions granted by the host.

Core User Flows

• Host creates a room -> Host shares room ID with potential members -> Members request to join the room -> Host grants or denies access -> Members share data (videos/snaps/music) based on permissions.

Visuals Colors and Theme

• primary: #3498db (a calming blue for trust and security)
• primary_light: #85c1e9 (a lighter blue for hover states)
• secondary: #2ecc71 (a green for success and approval actions)
• accent: #e74c3c (a red for alerts and critical actions)
• highlight: #f1c40f (a yellow for notifications and active indicators)
• bg: #ecf0f1 (a light grey for background)
• surface: #ffffff (white for cards and panels)
• text: #2c3e50 (a dark blue for primary text)
• text_muted: #95a5a6 (a grey for secondary text)
• border: #dcdcdc (a subtle grey for borders)

Signature Design Concept

The sharefree platform will feature an interactive "Data Sharing Galaxy" on the homepage. Users will see a dynamic galaxy map where each star represents a different type of media (videos, snaps, music). As users hover over a star, it will expand and display a preview of the content. Clicking a star will open a detailed view with sharing options. The galaxy will rotate slowly, creating a sense of exploration and discovery. This concept will be implemented using @react-three/fiber for 3D interactions and gsap for smooth animations.

Landing Hero Motion Brief

The landing page will feature a continuous motion loop where data packets (represented as glowing orbs) travel through a network of connections, symbolizing the sharing process. As the orbs move, they will illuminate the path, highlighting the secure and dynamic nature of the platform. The animation will be created using motion/react and will adapt to different screen sizes, ensuring a consistent experience across devices.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

• Intended Interaction Model: Parallax
• The landing page will feature layered depth via scroll, with decorative layers translating at different speeds to create a sense of immersion. Real content will scroll naturally, providing a visually rich first impression.

Non-Functional Requirements

• The system must ensure data security and privacy for all shared content.
• The platform should be scalable to accommodate a large number of simultaneous users and rooms.
• The user interface should be intuitive and responsive across all devices.

Tech Stack

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

Assumptions and Constraints

• The system will operate in the Indian timezone (IST).
• Currency-related transactions, if any, will be handled in INR.
• The platform will comply with local data protection regulations.

Glossary

• Room: A virtual space where users can share data.
• Host: The user who creates and manages a room.
• Member: A user who joins a room and participates in data sharing.
• Data Sharing Galaxy: The interactive visual concept for the homepage.

This document outlines the requirements and design considerations for the sharefree project, ensuring a secure and engaging data-sharing experience for all users.
