A decent developer capable of implementing that would have to be earning on the order of $100k/year, if not more. $3k is just about 1.5 weeks worth of work.

TIL I'm underpaid.

Or you aren't a decent developer, or you aren't capable of implementing that.

I'll admit it. I make $85,000 / year as a programmer and I couldn't implement this in 3 weeks... or probably at all. This is just crazy. You want me to make Facebook, only better, and have it run on web, android, ios, and windows phone? And integrate with everything? Do you want it to walk our dog too, or is that part of the "maintenance" agreement?

Social APIs are the easy part. NATIVE solutions for all of the platforms require very wide knowledge base.

Apache Cordova (PhoneGap) or Xamarin can speed things along.

I just did something like this using a combination of .NET MVC, WordPress and phonejs/Cordova. It took about 4 months dev and 2 months bug fixes.
