teal-application System Requirements Document

Introduction

The teal-application is a project aimed at developing a simple, single-page todo application. This application is designed for personal use, focusing on minimalism and ease of use to ensure a seamless task management experience.

System Overview

The teal-application will be a web-based application that allows users to manage their tasks efficiently on a single page. The design will be minimalistic, ensuring that users can focus on their tasks without unnecessary distractions. The application will be accessible from any device with a web browser, providing flexibility and convenience for users.

Functional Requirements

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

User Personas

• User: The primary user of the teal-application is an individual looking to manage personal tasks efficiently. The user values simplicity and ease of use in a task management tool.

Signature Design Concept

The teal-application will feature an interactive, minimalist design where tasks are represented as sticky notes on a virtual corkboard. Users can click and drag these notes to reorder them, providing a tactile and engaging experience. The corkboard background will subtly change colors based on the time of day, using framer-motion for smooth transitions. This dynamic background will enhance the user experience by providing a visually appealing and interactive interface.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The landing page will employ a "static" interaction model, focusing on clarity and simplicity. The single-page design will ensure that all tasks are visible at once, with minimal motion to maintain focus on task management. Hover transitions will be used for task interactions, providing a polished feel without overwhelming the user.

Non-Functional Requirements

• The application should load within 2 seconds on a standard internet connection.
• The user interface should be responsive and accessible on both desktop and mobile devices.
• The application should handle up to 100 tasks without performance degradation.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React for Web
• Backend: FastAPI
• Database: MongoDB
• Local orchestration: Docker
• Server-side orchestration: Kubernetes

Assumptions and Constraints

• The application will be used primarily in India, so it should support local time zones and date formats.
• The application will not require user authentication, as it is intended for personal use.
• The design will prioritize minimalism and simplicity over advanced features.

Glossary

• 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.
• Minimal design: A design approach that emphasizes simplicity and the removal of unnecessary elements to focus on the core functionality.
