This is scary can you really change your position in the params of the web request? Also how accurate was this?

Yep just open the dev tools on tinder web and then look at the request. You can also use location spoofer plugins for your browser.

For accuracy I guess it would go down to 1km as this is the shortest distance tinder shows. If it was more accurate Tinder would face some issues.

However without knowing how tinder handles distance we can't know how precise it is.

It still is a fun project to code however
