ABC30 – Vinylly, a music-based dating app, takes a unique approach to matchmaking by using music compatibility instead of swipes. By connecting to Spotify, the app analyzes users' "music DNA" to create matches based on shared musical tastes. Founded by vinyl collector and concert enthusiast Rachel Van Nortwick, Vinylly was inspired by her personal experience of a relationship that lacked a shared love for music. Backed by science, the dating app emphasizes how sharing music can improve communication, reduce stress, and boost dopamine levels.
