Editing Status/Requirements (section)

== 2. Overall Description ==

<span id="product-perspective"></span>
=== 2.1 Product Perspective ===

Status is a SuperApp, a mini operating system that integrates with the Logos Microkernel ecosystem. Its primary role is to display UI modules and allow users to interact with them, similar to how an operating system shell provides an environment for applications. The framework enables functionality similar to:
* Secure messaging apps (Signal/Telegram) through messaging modules
* Financial services apps (Cash App/Venmo) through financial modules
* Super apps (WeChat/LINE) through its modular architecture

While Status operates independently, it relies on:
* Logos Microkernel for core functionality and module coordination
* PDMS for data management
* Modman for module package management
* Individual modules for specific features and services

<span id="product-functions"></span>
=== 2.2 Product Functions ===

Major framework functions include:
# Core Framework Services
#* Module lifecycle management through Modman module (installation, updates, removal)
#* Window management and UI coordination
#* Account and authentication management
#* System-wide notification handling
#* Inter-module communication facilitation, through the Microkernel
# UI Module Support Services
#* Shared UI component library for consistent module display
#* UI layout and window management coordination
#* Module display state management
#* UI event distribution to modules

Note: Core module services (isolation, sandboxing, lifecycle management, and inter-module communication) are provided by the Logos Microkernel and its core microservice modules.

# User Experience Services
#* Module discovery interface
#* Global search and navigation
#* System-wide settings management
#* Cross-module data sharing (when permitted)

Note: Specific features like messaging, cryptocurrency transactions, and DApp interactions are provided through modules. Some core modules to Status (like DApp Browser, Account Management) are bundled with Status, while others can be added by users.
