Creator here! I'm really sorry about having to do this, but this is the only way to make it work so far, since we can't get Tinder app tokens; after the initial authentication, the server only works as passive proxy for traffic to Tinder. If there's another way, let me know, and I'll gladly implement it.

Can you not have "Facebook login" i.e. you don't see the auth on your end... ? FB handles all the auth.

No you can't. You need tinders privileged token. If you could get that with an arbitrary Facebook login then every app you use would be vulnerable.

let us run it locally?

This doesn't work with a web application, as we need to request a token directly from the FB API which would check for the URL to match the approved URLs for Tinder.
