teal-todo System Requirements Document

Introduction

The teal-todo project aims to develop a sophisticated and visually engaging two-page to-do application. The application will cater to users who seek an intuitive and aesthetically pleasing interface for managing their tasks.

System Overview

The teal-todo application will provide users with a platform to create, manage, and organize their tasks efficiently. The application will consist of two main pages: a task list page and a task detail page. The design will emphasize a modern, interactive, and visually appealing user experience, avoiding any simple or plain styling approaches.

Functional Requirements

• As a User, I should be able to create a new task with a title and description.
• As a User, I should be able to view a list of all my tasks.
• As a User, I should be able to edit the details of an existing task.
• As a User, I should be able to delete a task.
• As a User, I should be able to mark a task as completed.
• As a User, I should be able to set reminders for my tasks.
• As a User, I should be able to filter tasks based on their completion status.

User Personas

• Regular User: Individuals who use the application to manage personal or professional tasks. They require an intuitive interface with easy navigation and task management features.

Core User Flows

• User creates a new task -> User views task list -> User selects a task -> User edits or deletes task -> User marks task as completed.
• User views task list -> User filters tasks by completion status -> User selects a task for more details.

Signature Design Concept

The teal-todo application will feature an interactive "Task Carousel" on the home page. This carousel will allow users to swipe through their tasks in a 3D space, providing a dynamic and engaging way to interact with their to-do list. Each task card will flip and rotate as users navigate through them, offering a tactile and immersive experience. The carousel will be built using @react-three/fiber for 3D rendering and framer-motion for smooth animations and transitions.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The landing page will employ a "parallax" interaction model, creating a layered depth effect as users scroll through the page. This will enhance the storytelling and visual richness of the application, making the first impression memorable and engaging. Internal pages will maintain a "static" interaction model to ensure clarity and focus on task management functionalities.

Non-Functional Requirements

• The application must load within 3 seconds on a standard broadband connection.
• The application should be responsive and accessible on both desktop and mobile devices.
• The application should support the latest versions of major browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React for Web
• Backend: Python with FastAPI
• Database: MySQL or MariaDB, using Alembic for migrations

Assumptions and Constraints

• The application will be developed with a focus on the Indian market, considering local preferences and usability standards.
• The design will avoid any simple or plain styling approaches, ensuring a visually rich user experience.
