#12OMFG stop fucking hijacking my fucking back button.
Yeah this alone is enough for me to refuse to use something.

#13providing facebook username/password doesn't seem like a good idea :)
Creator here! I'm really sorry about having to do this, but this is the only way to make it work so far, since we can't get Tinder app tokens; after the initial authentication, the server only works as passive proxy for traffic to Tinder. If there's another way, let me know, and I'll gladly implement it.
Can you not have "Facebook login" i.e. you don't see the auth on your end... ? FB handles all the auth.

Someone signed up for an HN account, squatted the name just to get a point across. Hat tip to you sir, well played.

No you can't. You need tinders privileged token. If you could get that with an arbitrary Facebook login then every app you use would be vulnerable.

#19Edit 2: took this down due to Facebook authentication issues. Apologies for sending out a half-baked product, but thanks for all the feedback!
Creator here! I realize that you have to input your Facebook username and password, but this is the only way to make it work so far, since we can't get Tinder app tokens. If we used the regular Facebook API, it would fail the URL test. After the initial authentication, the server only works as passive proxy for traffic to Tinder. If there's another way, let me know, and I'll gladly implement it.
Edit: the source code is available to view at https://github.com/pxpeterxu/tinderwick. It's a bit messy, since this was a quick hack.

Run it locally like http://tinderplusplus.com/ or make it a chrome extension and it should work.
Edit: alternatively, make it open source so we can see you're not doing anything sketchy with my facebook password.
