Apps or extensions that hack around products' intended use or limitations are interesting. Sometimes they help makers identify new opportunities and validate demand, but in this case I'm sure @badeen and the Tinder team aren't super pleased with Botinder.
Snappy, a Mac app to send and receive Snapchat photos and videos, is another example of this.
@rrhoover I doubt they've even noticed. Security has been an ongoing concern for them. Bots on the platform have been a huge problem because of this kind of access.
Thank you for sharing, I hope to have no problem with Tinder. But a web app version of it was really necessary for me. Feel free to suggest improvements, this project is open source: https://github.com/MrPing/Botinder
This reminded me of Instagram's rudimentary web app - which I actually use quite often because I get to see the pix much bigger.
Irrespective of this being outside the intended use case, I wonder whether Tinder users might also like seeing bigger profile pix.
