test-todo-design System Requirements Document

Introduction

The purpose of this document is to outline the system requirements for the "test-todo-design" project. This project aims to develop a simple, minimalistic single-page todo application that focuses on straightforward functionality without unnecessary complexity.

System Overview

The "test-todo-design" project is a todo application designed to provide users with a clean and efficient way to manage their tasks. The application will be a single-page application (SPA) with a minimal design, ensuring ease of use and a focus on core functionalities such as task creation, editing, and deletion.

Functional Requirements

• As a User, I should be able to create new tasks.
• As a User, I should be able to edit existing tasks.
• As a User, I should be able to delete tasks.

User Personas

• User: The primary user of the application who will interact with the todo list by adding, editing, and deleting tasks.

Visuals Colors and Theme

The color palette for the "test-todo-design" project is designed to be unique and minimalistic, reflecting the simplicity of the application:

• primary: #2C3E50 (a deep blue for the main interface elements)
• primary_light: #34495E (a lighter tint of the primary color for hover states)
• secondary: #E74C3C (a vibrant coral for headlines and emphasis)
• accent: #F39C12 (a bright orange for call-to-action buttons and active states)
• highlight: #F1C40F (a warm yellow for hover states and notifications)
• bg: #ECF0F1 (a light grey for the page background)
• surface: rgba(236, 240, 241, 0.8) (a semi-transparent light grey for card backgrounds)
• text: #2C3E50 (a deep blue for primary text)
• text_muted: #95A5A6 (a muted grey for secondary text)
• border: rgba(44, 62, 80, 0.2) (a subtle border color)

Signature Design Concept

The "test-todo-design" application will feature an interactive "Task Galaxy" concept. The homepage will present tasks as stars in a galaxy, where each star represents a task. Users can click on a star to open a task card, drag to rotate the galaxy, and hover over stars to highlight task connections. This interactive design will be implemented using @react-three/fiber and @react-three/drei for 3D rendering, providing a unique and engaging user experience.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The landing page will utilize a "parallax" interaction model, creating a layered depth effect as users scroll through the page. Decorative elements will move at different speeds to enhance the visual storytelling, while real content will scroll naturally. This approach is ideal for creating a visually rich first impression while maintaining clarity and usability.

Non-Functional Requirements

• The application should load quickly and perform efficiently on both desktop and mobile devices.
• The user interface should be intuitive and easy to navigate.
• The application should be accessible to users with disabilities, adhering to WCAG 2.1 guidelines.

Tech Stack

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

Assumptions and Constraints

• The application will be developed as a single-page application (SPA).
• The design will prioritize minimalism and ease of use.
• The application will not include advanced features such as task categorization or due dates at this stage.

Glossary

• SPA: Single Page Application
• WCAG: Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
• 3D Rendering: The process of generating a three-dimensional image from a model using computer software.
