Last year I built the platform 'Tindex'. It was an index of Tinder profiles so people could search by name, gender and age.

We scraped the Tinder profiles through a Tinder API which was discontinued not long ago, but weird enough it was still intact and one of my friends who was also working on it found out how to get api keys (somewhere in network tab at Tinder Online).

Except name, gender and age we also got 3 distances so we could calculate each users' location, then save the location each 15 minutes and put the coordinates on a map so users of Tindex could easily see the current location of a specific Tinder user.

Fun note: we also got the Spotify data of each Tinder user, so we could actually know on which time and which location a user listened to a specific Spotify track.

Later on we started building it out: A chatbot which connected to Tinder so Tindex users could automatically send a pick up line to their new matches (Was kinda buggy, sometimes it sent 3 pick up lines at ones).

Right when we started building a revenue model we stopped the entire project because a friend of ours had found out that we basically violated almost all terms.

Was a great project, learned a lot from it and actually had me thinking twice or more about online dating platforms.

Below an image of the user overview design I prototyped. The data is mock-data.

I am looking for testers!
operationtulip.com is a small startup that is providing storage with Nextcloud. Currently every user gets 50 GB for free for as long as we are able to provide it.

We would like freeback from our users aswell:

This one time, a client wanted a complete overhaul of her website.

I asked her for the credentials to the VPS, She gave me some random crap to try, cause clearly the site hadn't been touched since 2003 (and boy was it fugly).

Me: Maam, these aren't the correct details.

She sends in more crap to try...2 days pass with this back and forth.

Client: "contact steve, he should have the login details"

Me: ****Calls Steve *****
Me: "Maam, he says the login details are in your mail"

Client: "well, I don't remember this fact. Steve handled everything.
Hack into the website and then reset it.

The Russians did not need login details to hack into America's system. So please, do what you have to do to get us moving."

No jokes...that was the exact crap that came out of her fingers

Just posting the final Product after the Release from a early rant https://devrant.com/rants/820594

Is this devrant or feelsorryformerant. If you're struggling with mental issues do this:

0. Stop watching the news and other negative garbage.
1. Remove shit people from your life. Just stop answering their calls or tell them you're busy with work/family/whatever.
2. Exercise at least 3 times a week. Weights and running.
3. Meditate every single day for at least 5 minutes. Mindfulness will help you let go of thoughts.
4. Start looking for a new job if you hate the one you're in, or try starting a side business.
5. Do things that make you uncomfortable. Complete small challenges every day.
6. Find your passion and do it even if only for a short amount of time every day.
7. Stop using desktop Linux.
