super-todo System Requirements Document

Introduction

The super-todo project is designed to be a single-page, minimalistic todo application optimized for personal use. The focus is on simplicity and ease of use, ensuring users can manage their tasks efficiently without unnecessary complexity.

System Overview

The super-todo application is a web-based tool that allows users to manage their personal tasks on a single page. The application will feature a clean and minimal design, ensuring that users can focus on their tasks without distraction. The system will be intuitive, with straightforward navigation and task management capabilities.

Functional Requirements

• As a User, I should be able to add new tasks easily.
• As a User, I should be able to mark tasks as completed.
• As a User, I should be able to delete tasks.
• As a User, I should be able to view all tasks on a single page.

User Personas

• User: An individual looking to manage personal tasks efficiently with a simple and intuitive interface.

Visuals Colors and Theme

The color palette for the super-todo project is designed to be minimal yet visually appealing, enhancing the user experience without overwhelming the senses.

• primary: #2C3E50 (a deep, calming blue)
• primary_light: #34495E (a lighter shade of the primary for hover states)
• secondary: #E74C3C (a vibrant coral for emphasis)
• accent: #F39C12 (a bright orange for call-to-action elements)
• highlight: #F1C40F (a warm yellow for notifications and active states)
• bg: #ECF0F1 (a soft, light grey for the background)
• surface: rgba(236, 240, 241, 0.8) (a translucent light grey for cards/panels)
• text: #2C3E50 (the primary text color)
• text_muted: #95A5A6 (a muted grey for secondary text)
• border: rgba(44, 62, 80, 0.2) (a subtle border color)

Signature Design Concept

The super-todo application will feature a unique interactive design concept: a "Task Carousel". This carousel will allow users to swipe through their tasks horizontally, providing a dynamic and engaging way to manage their todo list. Each task card will flip to reveal additional details when clicked, offering a tactile and satisfying user interaction. The carousel will be implemented using framer-motion for smooth animations and transitions, ensuring a seamless user experience.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The landing page for super-todo will employ an "animated" interaction model. This will include moderate scroll-triggered reveals and hover transitions to enhance the user experience without detracting from the minimalistic design. Internal pages will maintain a "static" interaction model to prioritize clarity and speed in task management.

Non-Functional Requirements

• The application must load quickly and perform efficiently on all modern web browsers.
• The design should be responsive and accessible on both desktop and mobile devices.
• The system should ensure data persistence, so tasks remain saved between sessions.

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 is intended for personal use, so collaborative features are not required.
• The design will remain minimal to ensure ease of use and quick task management.
• The application will be developed as a single-page application to streamline navigation and user interaction.

Glossary

• Task Carousel: An interactive element allowing users to swipe through tasks horizontally.
• Single-page Application (SPA): A web application that interacts with the user by dynamically rewriting the current page, rather than loading entire new pages from the server.
