Seeking time estimates for developing these 5 detailed screens in react

Question

My manager wants me to determine in what time frame they can be done? and how hard it is to implement? He want them for internal use so no authentication is needed.

I have a basic understanding of React and its core functionalities, now give me an estimate of developing these 4 pages + a simple dashboard and a home screen (just title in the middle, and 2 buttons (new strategy) and (load strategy).

The backend is quite big with no library or framework, just Python files and folders connected, meaning there are no endpoints to call from. The screens are for internal use so there is no need for authentication or anything like that.

Dashboard:

A simple dashboard showing the performance of the strategy.

What I have tried:

I tried asking chatgpt, but it gave me wild guesses, like API-fy the Backend 1 week, then for each page 1-2 weeks, so total 2 months.

Nobody here knows what level of skills you have, so nobody here can guess how long it would take you to implement this.

Any estimate of how long we think it would take us to do it would be meaningless - unless you're also expecting us to do the work for you?

All we can do is suggest you take Montgomery Scott's approach: always multiply your ~~repair~~ estimates by a factor of 4. How else can you maintain your reputation as a miracle worker? :)

Like I can easily estimate the time for designing the pages, probably 1-2 days, but the issue is that the backend has no API's, just a bunch of python files written in oop and are all connected to the main.py script which you run in the terminal. I have no idea how to refactor the backend. there is around 7000 lines of code I think and 300 end points, since there is a lot of options to choose from

We can't tell you: we have no idea of your level of experience, skill, or ability; nor do we have any idea what processing is required behind those screens, or what they are meant to do / be for.

So just like ChatGPT, any estimate we could give you would also be a wild guess. Only you can estimate how long it will take you to do something: anyone else could only estimate based on their experience level and ability.

Yeah - and we know none of that, and have no way to see it in order to make an estimate, even a rough one.

okay so I'll tell the manager that I have no prior experience regarding the backend, the design will be ready in 2 days but I need to work a couple of days on the backend refactoring to give you an estimate

2 days X 4 = 3 Weeks.

You forgot to add the 25% "contingency" for unexpected problems. :D

Take 10 programmers, newbie in react or not, seasoned or not, good or not, familiar with existing partd of the project or not ...
And you will get 11 estimates.
There is as many estimates as programmers.
It is impossible for us to do an estimate for you wothput at least knpwing how skilled you are.
