I considered creating something like that to be used with Tinder’s (unofficial) API. There are a bunch of freely available algorithms one might use for this purpose. I did not seriously attempt this because it’s a hard problem, the algorithms are unreliable and difficult, and I’m not even sure if it’s something I want or could profit from.
As for why Tinder hasn’t done this. It goes against their business model. They would make less money. Tinder wants to keep you as an user for as long as possible, and the whole process of swiping, always wondering what the next one will be like, is their most addictive feature. Ideally they’ll only let you go on dates if it’s really necessary to keep you as a user. I’d guess that a significant portion of their users just use the app for swiping.
