I am creating a webapp to let screenwriters collaborate when writing their scripts.

I have several friends in this industry and their tooling is either expensive, not localized for their market or straight away bad (I've seen terrible dataloss).

I got some inspiration from linear and am building it on top of ruby on rails with CRDTs.

How is this different than using Google docs or something ?

		Scriptwriting require specific formatting (set by Hollywood ages ago). Doing this in google docs is really painful. Besides that, people who work in this industry are already used to the format, so if you wanna pitch something to studios, they expect to be in industry format. ref: https://www.dramatistsguild.com/sites/default/files/2020-01/...
