## The Problem

Screenwriters are stuck using tools built for a different era:

- **WriterDuet** (2M users) runs on aging Firebase + React tech — slow desktop app, limited free tier (3 projects), no AI
- **Final Draft** charges $199 one-time for desktop-only software with no real-time collaboration
- **Celtx** went freemium, got acquired, lost focus on core writing experience

Writers told us:
> "My desktop app takes 30 seconds to launch. It's 2026."
> "I can't collaborate with my writing partner without paying $12/month each."
> "Why doesn't screenwriting software have AI in 2026?"
