> proposes is a veritable shitton of work

Perhaps I missed something in the post, but I don't see a "shitton" of work there.

The first step is easily a one weekend (if not one day) project. None of what was described is particularly difficult, complicated, or labor intensive. I wonder if people are making assumptions about all sorts of fancy extras that the post doesn't mention being included.

That's the time for pure code-work. Thinking/design/testing will eat up more time, but not that much more time. As described it's a pretty reasonable weekend project to last a couple months.
