[Feature]: Tinder-like matching application

[harshthakur3]

So, what is it about?

Proposed Approach:
I would like to work on implementing this Tinder-like matching application in C++. My approach would involve creating a modular architecture with the following components:

User Profile Management: Design a User class with attributes like name, age, bio, interests/tags, and profile photos, along with methods for profile creation and editing.
Persistent Storage: Implement file-based storage using JSON or binary serialization to persist user profiles, swipe history, and match data between sessions. I'll use standard C++ file I/O with proper error handling.
Swipe Mechanism: Develop a swipe engine that presents profiles one at a time, tracks left/right swipes, and stores swipe decisions in a hash map for quick lookup during match detection.
Matching Algorithm: Implement a two-way matching system where users only match when both swipe right on each other. I'll also add a recommendation algorithm based on mutual interests/tags using a scoring system (e.g., Jaccard similarity coefficient) to prioritize compatible profiles.
User Interface: Create a console-based interactive UI with menu-driven navigation for profile browsing, swiping, viewing matches, and managing settings. If time permits, I can explore integrating a lightweight GUI library like SFML or Qt.
Data Structures: Utilize STL containers (vectors for profiles, unordered_maps for fast match lookups, sets for managing swipe history) to ensure efficient operations.

I'm excited to implement this project with clean, well-documented code following C++ best practices. I have experience with object-oriented design and C++ STL, which will be valuable for this assignment.
