strong-todo System Requirements Document

Introduction

The purpose of this document is to outline the system requirements for the "strong-todo" project. This project focuses on developing a robust to-do application with an emphasis on core logic and functionality, without the distraction of design elements.

System Overview

The "strong-todo" application is designed to provide users with a simple yet powerful tool to manage their tasks efficiently. The application will focus on core functionalities such as task creation, editing, deletion, and categorization. The system will be developed with scalability and ease of use in mind, ensuring that users can manage their tasks with minimal effort.

Functional Requirements

• As a User, I should be able to create a new task.
• As a User, I should be able to edit an existing task.
• As a User, I should be able to delete a task.
• As a User, I should be able to categorize tasks.
• As a User, I should be able to set deadlines for tasks.

User Personas

• User: The primary user of the application who will manage tasks, set deadlines, and categorize them.

Visuals Colors and Theme

Since the focus is on core logic, no specific design agent is involved. However, a unique color palette can be defined for future design considerations:

• primary: #2E4053 (a deep slate blue)
• primary_light: #5D6D7E (a lighter slate blue)
• secondary: #A93226 (a rich crimson)
• accent: #F39C12 (a vibrant orange)
• highlight: #F4D03F (a warm amber)
• bg: #F8F9F9 (a light grey)
• surface: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8) (a soft white)
• text: #1C2833 (a dark charcoal)
• text_muted: #566573 (a muted grey)
• border: rgba(44, 62, 80, 0.2) (a subtle blue-grey)

Signature Design Concept

For the "strong-todo" project, the signature design concept will focus on a minimalistic and interactive task management interface. The homepage will feature an interactive task board where users can drag and drop tasks between categories. This will be implemented using framer-motion for smooth drag-and-drop animations and spring physics. The task board will have a clean, grid-based layout with cards that flip to reveal task details when clicked. This interactive approach will make task management intuitive and engaging.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The intended interaction model for the "strong-todo" application is "animated." The application will feature moderate scroll-triggered reveals and hover transitions to enhance user experience. The task board will utilize spring physics for interactive elements, providing a polished and responsive feel. Internal pages such as settings and profile will maintain a "static" interaction model to prioritize layout clarity and reading speed.

Non-Functional Requirements

• The application should be responsive and accessible on various devices.
• The system should handle a large number of tasks efficiently.
• Data integrity and security must be maintained at all times.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React for Web
• Backend: Python with 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 core logic, with design elements to be considered in future iterations.
• The system will assume a single-user environment initially, with potential for multi-user support in future updates.

Glossary

• Task: An item that a user can create, edit, delete, categorize, and set deadlines for.
• Category: A label or group under which tasks can be organized.
• Deadline: A date and time by which a task should be completed.
