The Tinder Tirade

At a hackathon, my friends and I had the idea of building a program that would find out if someone was impersonating as you on Tinder. All you had to do was give the program photos of yourself, and it would look for accounts that had similar photos and/or your face. After the event had ended, I kind of took things a lot further, developing the program as a cross referencing tool for the images on Tinder, to find specific users. Tinder is well known for their lack of a “user search” system. My program effectively gets around that.
