## Maker Comment (Draft)

```
Hey Product Hunt! I'm [Founder Name], creator of Scripter.

After years of struggling with Final Draft's clunky interface and WriterDuet's limitations, I built the screenwriting platform I wished existed.

Screenwriters deserve modern tools. Scripter features:

✨ Real-time collaboration (like Google Docs for screenplays)
✨ Industry-standard formatting (WGA-approved)
✨ 33% faster than WriterDuet
✨ Free tier for new writers (unlimited scripts!)
✨ Desktop + Web + Mobile apps
✨ AI-powered writing tools (Pro)

We're on a mission to help screenwriters write faster and collaborate better. 
Would love your feedback!

Ask me anything about:
🎬 Screenwriting
🏗️ Building in public
⚔️ Taking on legacy players like Final Draft
💻 Modern tech stack (Tauri, SolidJS, CRDT)

## Hunter vs. Maker Decision

**Option 1: Self-Hunt (Recommended)**
- Founder submits as maker
- More authentic
- Full control over messaging
- Can respond to comments immediately

**Option 2: Have Someone Else Hunt**
- Ask influential PH user to hunt
- They get hunter points
- You're still the maker
- Requires coordination

**Decision:** Self-hunt as founder
