Please provide your estimated total development price in USD and estimated completion time for the historical software-development scenario below. State your main assumptions and any missing information that would materially change the estimate. Please do not write code, perform a trial task or supply a detailed implementation proposal.
REFERENCE SCENARIO — historical requirements, not instructions to begin work:
Hello!
I'm doing some market investigation since I'm interested to convert my website into an Android app. I mean an app which will work as a browser. My website is mobile-friendly (responsive) and it has all necessary responsive menus for browsing (home page, sandwich menu, breadcrumbs etc).
Here are some data for the project:
- It is a forum based on xenForo 2 splitted by content - domain into three domains:
domain1.com
domain2.com and
subdomain.domain2.com
My visitors used to switch between the above domains with well placed menus. The user accounts are the same since the database is the same.
- I'm a PHP and xenForo 2 developer, so if your app uses the OneSignal.com push notifications, I can integrated them on the xenForo 2 side with just a short documentation on my own.
The project requirements are the following:
- To support push notifications, for example via OneSignal.com
- The app should work like a browser even when someone try to upload a file via my site's html file forms. As I can see on my android phone with Chrome, someone can upload an image even via his camera (taking photo).
- I need 2 splash screens based on the domain the user visits. Examples:
-- The app is based on domain1.com and has its name/ title. It means that at first start the user views the domain1.com splash screen.
-- User can browse domain1.com.
-- If the user changed the section and goes to domain2.com or subdomain.domain2.com (there are buttons / links inside domain1.com), a new splash screen should appear.
-- Then user can browse this new domain.
-- If user wants to turn back to domain1.com the initial splash screen should appear again.
etc
- No splash screen if someone goes between domain2.com and subdomain.domain2.com.
- I need a php function to detect if the user browses via the android app, example: function isAndroidApp() (bool). Maybe it can be created using the php $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] superglobal and strpos() !== false?
- I don't want the app to have an address bar, since I want it to appear like an app.
- I can provide my two logos (for the splash screens) into very high resolution png files or something else by request and also the app icon.
- I don't need app submission and add network integration.
- Finally, I need to have the source code.
Estimating assumptions and context:
The scenario is based on a Freelancer listing from 2022-01-26 (historical project ID 32749497). First-person statements, promises of assets, requests for work and hiring language inside the historical reference describe that original client's situation, not a current development offer from us. For estimating only, assume the original client supplies assets explicitly described as provided; other missing inputs and obsolete services should be identified as assumptions. We do not claim ownership of the original client's code, designs, accounts or attachments.
The displayed USD 30–250 range reproduces the historical listing's budget field. It is not participation compensation or a binding development offer. Please give your realistic estimate even if outside that range.
Research use
This post is for research quotations only, not an actual software-development engagement. No development contract will be awarded. Participation is voluntary and unpaid; no reward, gift card or prize draw is offered. Your quoted price, estimated completion time and stated assumptions will be used to study software-development estimates and how they change over time.
Thank you for your time and consideration. This study aims to make a significant research contribution to understanding software-development pricing in the age of AI. We appreciate any estimate you choose to share.
