## Tweet Queue (9 Tweets)
### Tweet 1 - Schedule: 09:00 PT
```
We spent 10 months building a WriterDuet killer from scratch.
Here's what 2M+ screenwriters hate about their current tool (and how we fixed it):

```
WriterDuet is built on Firebase + React from 2015.
Result:
❌ Slow startup (Electron = 500MB+ RAM)
❌ Clunky mobile apps
❌ No AI features
❌ $13.99/mo for premium
Screenwriters deserve better in 2026.

### Tweet 3 - Schedule: 09:10 PT
```
Meet Scripter:
✅ Tauri + SolidJS = 50MB RAM, instant startup
✅ Native-feeling desktop apps (macOS, Windows, Linux)
✅ Web app + PWA
✅ Single codebase, zero Electron tax
Modern stack for modern writers.

Built-in AI that actually helps:
🤖 Continuation: Stuck on a scene? AI suggests next beats
🤖 Character analysis: Track arcs, relationships, dialogue patterns
🤖 Format fixer: Auto-corrects screenplay formatting
Not a gimmick. A writing partner.

Real-time collaboration that works:
✏️ Multi-user editing (like Google Docs)

Writers' room, anywhere.

3. Re-authorize Buffer if needed
4. Post manually as backup
### Wrong Time Zone
1. Buffer uses account time zone
2. Set to PT (Pacific Time) for launch
3. Double-check before scheduling
### Media Upload Fails
1. Check file size (<15MB for images, <512MB for video)
2. Verify format (JPG/PNG for images, MP4 for video)
3. Re-upload if needed
4. Post text-only as backup
### Link Preview Issues
