Introduction

The "sunny-sports" project aims to create a dynamic and engaging online platform for sports card collectors. This website will serve as a hub for enthusiasts to buy, sell, and trade sports cards, access supplies, and stay informed about relevant events. The focus is on providing a seamless experience tailored to collectors' needs.

System Overview

The sunny-sports platform will offer a comprehensive marketplace for sports card collectors, including features for buying and selling cards, accessing necessary supplies, and keeping track of upcoming events. The system will be designed to enhance user engagement and facilitate a vibrant community of collectors.

Signature Design Concept

The sunny-sports homepage will feature an interactive "Card Carousel" concept. Users will be greeted by a 3D rotating carousel of sports cards, each card representing a different category or feature of the site (e.g., marketplace, supplies, events). Users can click on a card to "flip" it, revealing more information and options to explore further. The carousel will be built using @react-three/fiber for 3D rendering and framer-motion for smooth animations and transitions. This engaging and interactive design will captivate users, inviting them to explore the site in a playful and intuitive manner.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The landing page will utilize a "parallax" interaction model, creating a sense of depth and immersion as users scroll through the site. Layers of content will move at different speeds, enhancing the storytelling aspect of the platform. Internal pages, such as user profiles and the marketplace, will adopt a "static" interaction model to prioritize clarity and ease of use.

Non-Functional Requirements

• The system should support high traffic volumes, accommodating up to 10,000 concurrent users.
• The website must load within 3 seconds on standard broadband connections.
• Ensure data security and privacy compliance with relevant regulations (e.g., GDPR).

Tech Stack

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

Assumptions and Constraints

• The primary audience is based in the US, so the default currency will be USD, and the timezone will be set to EST.
• The platform will initially focus on sports cards but may expand to other collectible categories in the future.
