Introduction

The purpose of this document is to outline the system requirements for the "verdant-greeting" project, a shopping app designed to offer a premium user experience with a focus on clean, trendy designs and luxury vibes. The app will feature a card-based layout, aesthetic designs, and Gen Z slangs to appeal to a modern audience.

System Overview

Verdant-Greeting is a shopping application that aims to surpass existing platforms like Myntra by offering a superior user interface and experience. The app will include product categories similar to Myntra, with a focus on luxury and trend-setting design elements. The application will not include login or signup pages, focusing instead on seamless browsing and shopping experiences.

Signature Design Concept

The Verdant-Greeting app will feature an interactive "Luxury Carousel" on the homepage. This carousel will display featured products in a 3D rotating card format using @react-three/fiber and @react-three/drei. Users can click and drag to rotate the carousel, revealing different product categories. Each card will flip to show product details on hover, with smooth transitions powered by framer-motion. The background will subtly change colors based on the time of day, creating a dynamic and immersive shopping experience. This concept will make the homepage instantly captivating and interactive, setting a luxurious tone for the entire app.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The landing page will use a "parallax" interaction model, creating a layered depth effect as users scroll. Decorative elements will move at different speeds, enhancing the storytelling aspect of the app. Internal pages will maintain a "static" interaction model to ensure clarity and ease of use, focusing on the shopping experience without unnecessary distractions.
