tough-bot System Requirements Document

Introduction

The purpose of this document is to outline the system requirements for the "tough-bot" project. This project aims to create a simplified, single-page design for a to-do application.

System Overview

The tough-bot project is a single-page application designed to manage tasks efficiently. The application will provide users with a streamlined interface to add, view, and manage their to-do items. The focus is on simplicity and ease of use, ensuring that users can interact with the application without unnecessary complexity.

Functional Requirements

• As a User, I should be able to add a new task to my to-do list.
• As a User, I should be able to view all my tasks in a single-page layout.
• As a User, I should be able to mark tasks as complete.
• As a User, I should be able to delete tasks from my list.
• As a User, I should be able to edit existing tasks.

User Personas

• User: The primary user of the application who needs to manage personal tasks efficiently.

Core User Flows

• User opens the application -> User adds a new task -> Task appears in the list.
• User views the list of tasks -> User marks a task as complete -> Task status updates.
• User selects a task -> User edits the task details -> Task updates in the list.
• User selects a task -> User deletes the task -> Task is removed from the list.

Visuals Colors and Theme

• primary: #4A90E2 (a calming blue for the main interface elements)
• primary_light: #A6C8F0 (a lighter blue for hover states and secondary UI)
• secondary: #F5A623 (a warm amber for headlines and emphasis)
• accent: #D0021B (a vibrant red for CTAs and active states)
• highlight: #F8E71C (a bright yellow for hover states and notifications)
• bg: #FFFFFF (a clean white for the page background)
• surface: rgba(250, 250, 250, 0.8) (a soft grey for card/panel backgrounds)
• text: #333333 (a dark grey for primary text)
• text_muted: #777777 (a lighter grey for secondary text)
• border: rgba(200, 200, 200, 0.5) (a subtle grey for borders)

Signature Design Concept

The tough-bot application will feature an interactive "Task Carousel" on the homepage. Users can swipe through tasks in a carousel format, with each task card flipping to reveal details when clicked. This dynamic interaction will be powered by framer-motion for smooth transitions and spring physics. The carousel will provide a visually engaging way to manage tasks, making the process both intuitive and enjoyable.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The interaction model for the tough-bot landing page will be "animated". The single-page design will incorporate moderate scroll-triggered reveals and hover transitions to enhance user engagement. Interactive elements like the Task Carousel will utilize spring physics for a polished and responsive feel.

Non-Functional Requirements

• The application should load quickly and perform efficiently on all modern browsers.
• The design should be responsive, adapting to various screen sizes and devices.
• The application should ensure data persistence across sessions.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React for Web
• Backend: Python with FastAPI
• Database: MySQL or MariaDB, using Alembic for migrations
• AI Models: Not applicable for this project
• Local Orchestration: Docker and docker-compose

Assumptions and Constraints

• The application will be developed as a single-page application.
• Users will primarily access the application via web browsers.
• The application will not require user authentication or complex access control.

Glossary

• Task Carousel: An interactive component allowing users to swipe through tasks.
• Spring Physics: A type of animation that mimics the natural motion of objects, providing a more fluid and realistic interaction.

This document outlines the requirements and design for the tough-bot project, focusing on creating a simple, engaging, and efficient single-page to-do application.
