Tidal Harbor — being built

A big push today — the post-acceptance flow that takes a transaction from “we agreed” all the way through to “we’re done” is now live end to end.

When you accept an offer on Tessolari, the conversation no longer just sits there. You walk through:

  1. Confirm — both sides tick a quick “we’re agreed” prompt to unlock scheduling.
  2. Schedule — either party proposes up to three candidate times in a Doodle-style poll; the other ticks yes/no on each. If there’s exactly one yes, the appointment confirms automatically; otherwise the proposer picks. Recurring sessions (e.g. “every Mon/Wed/Fri for four weeks”) are supported in the same poll.
  3. Calendar — once a slot is confirmed, a standards-compliant .ics calendar invite arrives in both inboxes. A platform “Accept” button records confirmation on each side.
  4. Pre-call — a short, role-aware checklist (mic test if it’s a video call, address check if in-person, a simple scope review for async work). The checklist gates the next stage.
  5. Service delivery — for video, a Join button activates 15 minutes before the appointment; clicking goes through a small house-rules screen and into a private Jitsi room hosted at meet.tessolari.com. JWT-authenticated, no anonymous joins, recording disabled.
  6. Wrap up — once the appointment is over, both sides leave a quick H/M/L review. The buyer confirms completion, or raises a dispute if something went wrong. A dispute pauses the transaction and pings the moderator team.

Plus a new Events entry in the nav, showing every appointment you have on Tessolari in one chronological list — useful when you’ve got a few things in flight or a recurring pattern (daily check-ins, weekly tutoring).

Reminder emails fire automatically: 24 hours and 30 minutes before each appointment, and again 24 hours and a week after if the wrap-up is still pending.

Out of scope today, on the roadmap:

  • Real card / Revolut Pay payment for paid offers (currently shows “coming soon” — the rest of the flow already works for free offers).
  • Cancellation and rescheduling of confirmed appointments.
