System Requirements Document (SRD) for sky-page

1. Introduction

The sky-page project aims to deliver a simple, single-page todo application. This application will focus on providing a seamless and efficient user experience for basic task management. The design will be clean and minimalistic, ensuring ease of use for all users. This document outlines the system requirements for the development of the sky-page project.

2. System Overview

The sky-page application is a single-page web application designed for users who want a straightforward way to manage their tasks. The app will allow users to add, view, and delete tasks in a clean and intuitive interface. It will be optimized for performance and usability, ensuring a smooth experience on both desktop and mobile devices.

Given Priyal's preference for simplicity, the app will not include advanced features like categories, priorities, or due dates. Instead, it will focus on the core functionality of task management.

Locale-specific considerations:

• Country: India (IN)
• Timezone: IST (Indian Standard Time)
• Language: English (default)

3. Functional Requirements as Story Points

• As a User, I should be able to add a new task.
• As a User, I should be able to view all my tasks in a list.
• As a User, I should be able to delete a task from the list.

4. User Personas

1. User

• Description: A general user who wants to manage their tasks efficiently.
• Goals: Quickly add, view, and delete tasks without any distractions.
• Pain Points: Overly complex interfaces or unnecessary features.

5. Visuals Colors and Theme

The sky-page project will feature a clean and modern color palette that reflects simplicity and focus. Below is the unique color palette designed for this project:

• primary: #4A90E2 (Sky Blue)
• primary_light: #A3CFF9 (Light Sky Blue)
• secondary: #F5A623 (Warm Amber)
• accent: #50E3C2 (Mint Green)
• highlight: #F8E71C (Bright Yellow)
• bg: #F7F9FC (Soft White)
• surface: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.9) (Translucent White)
• text: #333333 (Dark Gray)
• text_muted: #7F8C8D (Muted Gray)
• border: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) (Light Gray Border)

6. Signature Design Concept

Concept: "Floating Sticky Notes"

The homepage of sky-page will feature an interactive design inspired by sticky notes floating in a calm, sky-like background. Here's how it works:

• Background: A gradient sky background transitioning from light blue to soft white, with subtle animated clouds drifting across the screen.
• Task Cards: Each task will appear as a sticky note that "floats" slightly when hovered over, using spring physics for a natural feel (powered by framer-motion).
• Interactions:
  • Clicking on a sticky note will "expand" it slightly, allowing the user to edit or delete the task.
  • Adding a new task will animate a sticky note "falling" gently into the list.
  • Deleting a task will make the sticky note "fly away" and fade out.
• Micro-interactions: Buttons and icons will have hover effects, such as subtle color changes or slight scaling, to enhance the tactile feel.

This design will make the app visually engaging while maintaining its simplicity and usability.

7. Interaction Model & Motion Direction

Interaction Model: Animated

The sky-page application will use an animated interaction model to enhance the user experience. The animations will be subtle and purposeful, focusing on:

• Smooth transitions when adding or deleting tasks.
• Hover effects on buttons and task cards.
• Spring physics for natural motion.

Motion Direction:

• Landing Page: The floating sticky notes concept will create a dynamic first impression.
• Task List: Tasks will animate into place when added and gently fade out when deleted.
• Buttons: Hover states will include slight scaling and color shifts for feedback.

8. Non-Functional Requirements

• Performance: The app should load within 2 seconds on a standard 4G connection.
• Responsiveness: The app must be fully responsive and optimized for both desktop and mobile devices.
• Accessibility: The app should follow WCAG 2.1 guidelines to ensure accessibility for all users.
• Scalability: The app should support up to 1,000 tasks without performance degradation.

9. Tech Stack

Frontend

• React for Web

Backend

• Python
• FastAPI

Database

• MySQL (with Alembic for migrations)

Local Orchestration

• Docker
• docker-compose

10. Assumptions and Constraints

Assumptions

• Users will primarily access the app via modern web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge).
• The app will not require user authentication or account management.

Constraints

• The app will not include advanced features like task categories, priorities, or due dates.
• The app will be a single-page application with no additional pages or navigation.

11. Glossary

• SPA: Single-Page Application, a web app that loads a single HTML page and dynamically updates content as the user interacts with it.
• WCAG: Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, a set of standards for making web content accessible to people with disabilities.
• Sticky Note: A visual representation of a task in the app, resembling a physical sticky note.
