Show HN: Tinder4Cats
Couldn't resist when I saw Tinder for the other day! Thanks https://twitter.com/DasSurma https://twitter.com/DasSurma for making the source code for Tinder for Bananas available!
- theolivenbaum 5y agoNow for dogs too: http://tinder4dog.com/ http://tinder4dog.com/
- gundamdoubleO 5y agoMust be bugged, seems like none of these cats like me back ;)
- tamaharbor 5y agoIsn’t that what a cat does?
- wincy 5y agoIf it does like you it’ll promptly scratch and bite you for deigning to touch its belly for a single millisecond too long.
- politelemon 5y agoNice and simple OP! Looking at the telltale odd, sometimes distorted background of the cats, I could immediately recognize this as "this cat does not exist". Indeed the project's README confirms it.
- frosted-flakes 5y agoI thought something was odd. None of those cats seemed real, and I clicked "dismiss" on all of them.
- adamhearn 5y agoI must have gotten catfished
- drakonka 5y agoI couldn't bring myself to swipe left on any of them.
- rg111 5y agoAre all these cats real? Or, are they generated by some sort of deep generative model?
- MawKKe 5y agoLooking for some catnip & chill?
- csunbird 5y agoSorry, my cat does not do drugs!
- WalterGR 5y agoThat’s what the comment mentioning “this cat does not exist” is referring to.
- rg111 5y agoAh, missed that one. The faces were weird to look at. Too many of them. The best I have seen in the "X does not exist" category is https://thisbeachdoesnotexist.com https://thisbeachdoesnotexist.com .
- WalterGR 5y agoWas there a HotOrNot for bananas and cats?
- nowherebeen 5y agoThis is hilarious. This is exact idea of my parents had for an app.
- hiccuphippo 5y agoThis would be very nice for an animal adoption center.
- georgyo 5y agoThis has been tried, at least for dogs. It doesn't exist for a variety of reasons, but I cannot find any articles about why it failed and I only have second hand knowledge. https://techcrunch.com/2014/05/27/barkbuddy-is-a-tinder-for-dogs/ https://techcrunch.com/2014/05/27/barkbuddy-is-a-tinder-for-...
- mkoryak 5y agoI am disappointed that you didn't use https://thecatapi.com https://thecatapi.com for your feline data source.
- glenneroo 5y agoAccording to the linked Github project, "This page uses images from This Cat Does Not Exist, and random profiles from Twitter Bio Generator." But I really wish I could submit my own.
- mkoryak 5y agoYeah I saw that they have an images directory in the GitHub source.. so the cats are limited and static. Thecatapi has a purfect selection of cats compared to this
- Canada 5y agoImages arent loading half the time
- kaycebasques 5y agoLink to original Tinder For Bananas: https://tinderforbananas.com/ https://tinderforbananas.com/
- mysterydip 5y agoSuggestion to rename it to Tinpurr
- CameronNemo 5y agoWhere are the IG handles? Where are the "self employed content creators"? Where are the rants about height? How about the bios that only consist of "guess my breed"? 2/10 for being true to the medium 10/10 for cats

- fullstop 5y agoI'm glad that I missed out on this era of dating (by being married).
- whatshisface 5y agoTinder is the new way to say "Hey baby" at a bar, not the new way to meet someone and slowly get to like them more and more. Everything that existed previously is still there, it just takes more courage than letting a computer do the hard part for you.
- DonHopkins 5y agoI'm glad that I missed out on this era of dating (by having cats). ;)
- fullstop 5y agoOddly enough, I ended up with both a wife and cats. I was happy with one cat, but she wanted more than that. We compromised and now have four.
- DonHopkins 5y agoMy two cats would like me to have at least four or more spouses, so they get more attention and fed more often.

- djohnston 5y agoWell done!
- jedberg 5y agoWhat kind of cold hearted person swipes left??
