always yes. The more the merrier :)

I just commented the other day to someone that Tinder should analyze the features of those you swipe yes, and build a profile based on your history to auto-swipe in the future. Machine learning at its finest.

We're actually in process of hacking that one too based on your Facebook stated preference :)

I'm talking about using OpenCV on profile pics of those you swipe yes on. :)

Can you add a chatbot to carry on enough conversation to get to a date? Then just message the user when and where to go.

And for ultimate virality, can you somehow encourage unprotected sex through either a filter on users' profiles(1), or the chatbot? Then you can create more users who are predisposed (through nature or nurture, I don't know) to use the app. Yes, that will take a while to really have an effect, but hey, we're not here to build some fly-by-night startup. We're changing the world.

(1) I don't actually know anything about Tinder.

It sounds like a neat problem to work on. I imagine a few awkward situations where the algo has "slightly" miscalculated though.

Congratulations on making Tinder even less useful than it is now.

This, exactly. I'm glad I never got into the online dating scene, specifically because of garbage like this. This is not automating love, this is defeating the purpose of an already nebulously-useful tool.

I made the same in a 10-line Python script the other day and I am running it on my machine. I obtained access_token from Tinder API using mitmproxy. So it works quite well without installing Cydia or another app to my phone.

This is good first date conversation material.

Got a good chatbot api/library to recommend?
