Description
The project currently provides limited information about its overall architecture of OzymorLab, making it difficult for new contributors to understand how different components work together.
This issue aims to improve the README by adding clear architecture documentation, diagrams, and deployment details. A well-documented architecture section will help developers onboard faster, understand system boundaries, and contribute more effectively.
What Needs to Be Added
1. System Architecture Overview
There is a system architecture overview in README.md but it needs to be more clear. Create a high-level architecture section that explains:
Using mermaid is the good approach as previously, but making it complex is not good idea.
- Core system components
- Data flow between components
- Key services and responsibilities
- External integrations (if any)
Include a simple architecture diagram (Mermaid, Draw.io export, or image).
Example topics:
- User Interface
- API Layer
- AI/OCR Processing
- Database
- Storage Services
- Authentication
2. Frontend ↔ Backend Interaction
Document how the frontend communicates with backend services:
- Authentication flow
- API request lifecycle
- Data exchange formats
- Error handling approach
- Real-time communication (if applicable)
Include sequence diagrams where helpful.
Example:
User → Frontend → API → Database
↓
AI Service
3. Deployment Architecture
Add deployment documentation covering:
- Production deployment structure
- Development environment setup
- Infrastructure components
- CI/CD workflow
- Environment variables and configuration
Example components:
- Frontend Hosting
- Backend Server
- Database
- Object Storage
- Monitoring & Logging
4. Visual Diagrams
Add at least one of the following:
- Mermaid diagrams
- Draw.io diagrams
- Excalidraw diagrams
- PNG/SVG architecture images
The goal is to make the architecture understandable within a few minutes of reading.
Acceptance Criteria
Suggested Skills
- Technical Writing
- Documentation
- System Design Basics
- Mermaid Diagrams (optional)
Impact
This improvement will make the project easier to understand for new contributors, reduce onboarding time, and provide a clear overview of how the platform is structured and deployed.
Difficulty: Beginner
Labels: documentation, good first issue, up-for-grabs, help wanted
