Silent-Page System Requirements Document

Introduction

The purpose of this document is to outline the system requirements for the "silent-page" project, a minimalist single-page to-do list web application. The focus of this project is to create a simple and effective tool for task management without unnecessary complexity.

System Overview

The "silent-page" project is designed to be a single-page web application that allows users to manage their to-do lists with ease. The application will provide a clean and intuitive interface for adding, deleting, and marking tasks as complete. The simplicity of the design ensures that users can focus on their tasks without distractions.

Functional Requirements

• As a User, I should be able to add new tasks to my to-do list.
• As a User, I should be able to delete tasks from my to-do list.
• As a User, I should be able to mark tasks as complete.

User Personas

• User: An individual who wants to manage their tasks efficiently using a simple and straightforward to-do list application.

Visuals Colors and Theme

The color palette for the "silent-page" project is designed to be minimalist and calming, reflecting the simplicity of the application:

• primary: #2E4053 (a deep slate blue)
• primary_light: #5D6D7E (a lighter slate blue for hover states)
• secondary: #A93226 (a rich crimson for emphasis)
• accent: #F39C12 (a vibrant orange for call-to-action elements)
• highlight: #F7DC6F (a warm gold for notifications and active states)
• bg: #F4F6F7 (a soft, light gray for the background)
• surface: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.9) (a near-white for card backgrounds)
• text: #1C2833 (a dark charcoal for primary text)
• text_muted: #839192 (a muted gray for secondary text)
• border: rgba(44, 62, 80, 0.2) (a subtle border color)

Signature Design Concept

The homepage of the "silent-page" app will feature a unique interactive design concept called "Floating Task Cards." Each task will appear as a card that gently floats above the background. Users can click and drag these cards to reorder their tasks, providing a tactile and engaging experience. The cards will have subtle shadow effects that change dynamically as they are moved, creating a sense of depth and interaction. This concept will be implemented using framer-motion for smooth animations and spring physics, enhancing the minimalist aesthetic with a touch of elegance.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The interaction model for the "silent-page" landing page will be "animated." This will include moderate scroll-triggered reveals and hover transitions to maintain a clean and polished look. The focus will be on providing a seamless user experience with smooth animations that enhance the simplicity of the application.

Non-Functional Requirements

• The application must load quickly and efficiently, ensuring a smooth user experience.
• The user interface should be responsive and accessible on various devices and screen sizes.
• The application should maintain data integrity and ensure that user tasks are reliably saved and retrieved.

Tech Stack

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

Assumptions and Constraints

• The application will be developed with a focus on simplicity and minimalism.
• The design will prioritize user experience and ease of use.
• The application will not include advanced features such as categories or due dates to maintain simplicity.

Glossary

• Task: An item on the to-do list that a user can add, delete, or mark as complete.
• Minimalist Design: A design approach that emphasizes simplicity and the removal of unnecessary elements.
• Interactive Design: A design that allows users to engage with the application through actions like clicking and dragging.
