BOSTON GLOBE – Boston College alumna Melissa Mullen wanted a dating app for people who 'value humor in a relationship.' So she made one. When users log onto the Smile dating app, they won't be greeted by profiles to swipe through. Instead, they'll find a long stream of videos from TikTok. If they find the clip funny, they tap on a heart button. Not funny – the heart with a slash through it. The app's algorithm uses this data to identify the user's "humor profile", and offers up matches who have similar makeups.
