Artistant Wiki

Hosting note: This wiki documents the native iOS app (cestercian/Artistant). It lives on the public artistant-android-Jetpack wiki because private-repo Wikis require GitHub Pro.

ARTISTANT is a native iOS app — a two-sided marketplace for booking live performers in India ("Zomato / UrbanCompany for live artists"). Clients and artists share one app, gated by a role pick at signup. Hero feature: the Bookability Score™ (0–100).

Platform	Dark-only, iPhone-only, iOS 26+
Market	India, INR
Auth	Google + Apple OAuth + email/password (Supabase)
Backend	Supabase (Postgres, Edge Functions, Realtime, Storage)
v1 model	Matchmaker — request → accept in chat; escrow/Razorpay deferred
Repo	cestercian/Artistant · trunk main

Canonical deep docs still live in the repo: CLAUDE.md (session bootstrap) and HANDOFF.md (operational manual). This wiki is the navigable overview.

Product in one paragraph

Both sides live in the same SwiftUI app. Clients discover artists, send a booking request (pending_confirm); artists accept or decline. Negotiation happens in-thread. Chat redaction was scrapped Jul 22, 2026 — trust runs Airbnb-style (safety banner + "always communicate through Artistant" + report flows). Monetization fast-follow: Apple IAP ₹99/mo (built, inert behind subscriptionsEnabled). Escrow via Razorpay Route stays dormant scaffolding for a later phase.
