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!

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
