Eidolon is Artsy's open-source iPad auction kiosk app, written in Swift, that lets gallery visitors browse auction lots, register to bid, and place bids with credit card verification. The project was retired in January 2022 and is no longer maintained.
Use cases
- run an in-gallery bidding kiosk for art auctions
- study an early production Swift app using FRP/ReactiveCocoa
- learn how Artsy structured its open-source iOS apps
- reference for kiosk-style iPad application design
- example of integrating credit card processing in an iOS app
When to choose
- you want a historical reference for early Swift and functional reactive programming on iOS
- you need to understand or fork Artsy's auction kiosk for a similar art-auction setup
When to avoid
- you need a maintained, production-ready auction or kiosk app
- you target current iOS/Xcode versions, since it requires Xcode 9 and is retired
- you want a general-purpose e-commerce solution
