silver-todo System Requirements Document

Introduction

The purpose of this document is to outline the system requirements for the "silver-todo" project, a streamlined to-do application focusing on core logic and simplicity. This document will guide the development process to ensure the application meets the user's needs for managing simple tasks efficiently.

System Overview

The "silver-todo" application is designed to provide users with a straightforward and efficient way to manage their tasks. The focus is on core functionality without the complexity of advanced design elements. The application will allow users to create, view, and manage a list of tasks with ease.

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 view all my tasks in a list format.
• As a User, I should be able to mark tasks as complete.
• As a User, I should be able to delete tasks from my list.

User Personas

• User: The primary user of the application who will create and manage tasks.

Visuals Colors and Theme

Since the focus is on core logic, the visual design will be minimalistic. However, a unique color palette will still be defined to ensure a pleasant user experience.

• primary: #4A90E2 (a calm blue for main elements)
• primary_light: #A6C8FF (a lighter blue for hover states)
• secondary: #F5A623 (a warm orange for emphasis)
• accent: #50E3C2 (a vibrant teal for CTAs and active states)
• highlight: #F8E71C (a bright yellow for notifications)
• bg: #FFFFFF (a clean white background)
• surface: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.9) (a subtle white for cards/panels)
• text: #333333 (a dark grey for primary text)
• text_muted: #777777 (a lighter grey for secondary text)
• border: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) (a light grey for borders)

Signature Design Concept

For the "silver-todo" project, the signature design concept will be an interactive task list that uses a "flip card" animation. When a user marks a task as complete, the task card will flip over, revealing a congratulatory message or a motivational quote on the back. This interaction will be implemented using framer-motion for smooth animations. The homepage will feature a clean, minimalistic layout with a focus on usability and simplicity.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

• Interaction Model: Static
• The application will prioritize layout clarity and minimal motion to ensure quick access and management of tasks. The task list will be straightforward, with minimal animations to maintain focus on functionality.

Non-Functional Requirements

• The application should load quickly and perform efficiently on all supported devices.
• The user interface should be intuitive and easy to navigate.
• The application should be accessible and usable on both desktop and mobile devices.

Tech Stack

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

Assumptions and Constraints

• The application will be developed with a focus on core functionality, without advanced design elements.
• The application will not include features like task prioritization or deadline reminders.
• The application will be designed to support a single user persona.

Glossary

• Task: An item on the to-do list that the user can manage.
• User: The individual using the application to manage tasks.
• CTA: Call to Action, an element that encourages user interaction.
