Introduction

The "super-banana" project aims to develop a commercial website for Golden Crunch Co., a brand dedicated to selling banana chips directly to customers. The website will focus on enhancing user experience through various functionalities such as online payments, customer reviews, order tracking, special promotions, and a loyalty program. This document outlines the system requirements necessary to achieve these objectives.

System Overview

The system will support direct-to-consumer sales, enabling the brand to build a strong connection with its audience. Key features will include secure online transactions, customer feedback mechanisms, and personalized user experiences through promotions and loyalty programs. Additionally, an Admin-only inventory management feature will be implemented to manage product visibility.

Signature Design Concept

The homepage of Golden Crunch Co.'s website will feature an interactive "Banana Grove" concept. Users will enter a virtual banana plantation where each banana bunch represents a different product category. Using @react-three/fiber and @react-three/drei, users can click on a bunch to "peel" it open, revealing product details and purchase options. The grove will have a dynamic lighting effect that changes from sunrise to sunset as users scroll, creating an immersive experience. Hovering over elements will trigger subtle animations, such as leaves rustling or bananas swaying, using framer-motion.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The landing page will employ a "parallax" interaction model, creating a layered depth effect as users scroll through the site. Decorative elements like banana leaves and tropical backgrounds will move at different speeds, providing a rich storytelling experience. Internal pages, such as product listings and checkout, will use a "static" model to ensure clarity and ease of use.

Non-Functional Requirements

• The website should load within 3 seconds on a standard broadband connection.
• Admin functionalities must be protected by Role-Based Access Control (RBAC).

• Backend: Python, FastAPI
• Database: MySQL or MariaDB, using Alembic for migrations
• AI Models: GPT 5.4 for user-friendly responses

• The system will integrate with popular payment gateways available in India.
• The loyalty program will be managed through a points-based system.
• Admin access will be secured using JWT middleware for authentication.
