tinder swipe.jpg — What if there was a “tinder” for adopting pets?

Problem

Looking to adopt a dog can be a challenging process. Many people want to adopt from shelters where dogs have been rescued and/or are at risk of being put down, rather than from expensive breeders.

Influences

I was influenced by dating apps such as Tinder and Bumble, where users can quickly “swipe” through potential dates based on basic information and photo.

Constraints

Use the Petfinder API to use retrieve real data about dogs that are currently up for adoption.
Verify users using Google Authorization and Oauth 2.0
Save users and their liked dogs in MongoDB
Full CRUD functionality
