Is there a way to look at the total 'liked' products? I'm wondering if they can be saved and looked at like an amazon wishlist.

interesting... but what happens with the data? i looked but couldn't find a way to recall the things i 'liked' and the recommendations didn't seem to be getting any better. as a window shopping experience, it works since i'm just randomly scrubbing through clothes idly, but i feel like i'm missing some context because i don't immediately understand how i'm supposed to use it in the long term (am i supposed to just shop for these things when i see something i like or should i just vote for them?)

fun though for what it is, i spent more time than i expected to just scrubbing around.

Definitely the next feature I'd like to add in. I wanted to get the MVP out as quickly as possible before iterative improvements became crippling to shipping :)

We built something really similar at the Techcrunch Disrupt hackathon recently: http://www.shopornot.co/

I know the other two team members are pretty interested in continuing work on it if you want to reach out :).

Item text seems to be getting cut off unnecessarily. Seeing "Tommy Hilfiger Men's Trim Fit Seasona...", taking up only half of the space.

From what I understand, the primary benefit of Tinder is the double-positive response matching that offers the possibility of success without the hurt of rejection. It solves the one of the biggest problems in dating.

Since one of the parties involved in "Tinder for Clothing" is inanimate, where's the value-add? In essence this is just a product catalogue, no?
