GPT:
To provide a rough ballpark figure, it is not uncommon for large-scale applications with similar complexity to exceed 50,000 to 100,000 lines of code or more.
Based on the estimates provided earlier, here's a rough overall estimate for the entire project to develop a nationwide referendum app:
Total Estimated Project Cost: Considering the development team's cost and additional expenses, the total estimated project cost could range from approximately $460,000 to $560,000 or more.
[so maybe 2m?]
Estimated Time to Complete: For a project of this complexity, including development, testing, refinement, and potential unforeseen challenges, a reasonable time frame would be around 6 to 12 months.
Based on the earlier estimates, a minimum team of 3 key roles would be required:
Backend Developer
Frontend Developer
DevOps Engineer
For the sake of the estimate, let's assume an average monthly cost of $10,000 per developer.
Total Estimated Cost for the Development Team: 3 developers * $10,000/month * 12 months = $360,000
Keep in mind that the actual cost may vary based on the experience level and location of the developers, among other factors.
Additional Costs: In addition to the development team's cost, other expenses may include:
Infrastructure and Cloud Services: Costs for servers, databases, hosting, and cloud services required to run the application.
Software and Tools: Expenses for licenses and subscriptions to development tools, IDEs, and third-party libraries.
Security Audits and Testing: Budget for security experts to perform audits and penetration testing.
Legal and Compliance: Costs related to legal advice and compliance with data protection and privacy regulations.
Project Management: Fees for project management and coordination.
Software and Tools: Expenses for licenses and subscriptions to development tools, IDEs, and third-party libraries.
Legal and Compliance: Costs related to legal advice and compliance with data protection and privacy regulations.
