Show HN: Screenwriting Software
I’ve spent the last year getting back into film and testing a bunch of screenwriting software. After a while I realized I wanted something different, so I started building it myself.
The core text engine is written in Rust/wasm-bindgen.
- kavyaj 7mo agoThis is pretty cool! Love the visual arc feature as well. How is screenwriting written otherwise?
- dovebarra 7mo agoThanks for taking a look! The feedback is really appreciated. The most popular program is called Final Draft, but there are a few other smaller ones. In my experience they’re a bit clunky.
- fabulawriter 6mo agoCool to see another Rust-based approach to this. I've been building something in the same space using Tauri v2, so the core is also Rust but running natively rather than through WASM. Curious how you're finding the wasm-bindgen boundary for a text-heavy app, I went native partly because I was worried about the overhead of keystroke-level interactions crossing between JS and the Rust engine. Has that actually been a problem in practice or am I overthinking it? Looks like you're parsing Fountain under the hood, is that correct? That reading tool is rad as well, nice touch.
