Tinder Anonymizer

Just a small fun project for late night Twitch streams where we do some fun on Tinder and don't want to abuse privacy of others.

Current state

Change real images to given static image
Hide the descriptions
Hide the meta data (city, distance, school, job)

Requirements

Node

Installation

Install packages:

npm i

Copy .env.example and rename it to .env.
Setup your environment:

NEW_IMAGE_URL: you should set to the image you would like to preview instead of the real images.
SELECTOR_TIMEOUT_MS: it's a number and after this ms if the given selector is not loaded the software will exit.

Running

Start it with command:

npm start

Login with your account
When all the images change to the given image start the stream ;)

Additional safety settings

You can route the Tinder image cloud url requests to your localhost address with editing your hosts file. In my case (I use MacOs), I have opened Terminal and typed:

nano /etc/hosts

Then in the end I have added:

127.0.0.1 images-ssl.gotinder.com

Future plans

In the future I would like to implement the given checklist if we will keep up the fun:

Auto login from environment variables
Add deep learned based face blur to blur only the face not swap the whole image
Add some easter eggs for given description words
Remove only social media account tags not the whole descriptions
