The technical part is the easy part. What’s interesting to me is how tinder, which unlike twitter or Instagram for example requires a certain mass of active users in the same physical area, established themeselves in the first place.

My only thought on how to make a “Tinder of X” is start hyper local, somewhere like a college campus or a single neighborhood. The small local userbase could well become a selling point too, giving the product the image of exclusivity. Starting hyper local also may help with the “ok so he looks cute but what if he’s actually an axe murderer or Russian troll” problem.
