## 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.

Scripter features:
✨ Real-time collaboration (like Google Docs for scripts)
✨ Industry-standard formatting (WGA-approved)
✨ 33% faster than WriterDuet
✨ Free tier for new writers
✨ Desktop + Web + Mobile apps

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, or taking on legacy players like Final Draft. 🚀
