Problem

Research

1. Simplify the writing process for the user to create as many ideas as possible.
1. Content produces itself, work is minimal, and sub-communities naturally grow.

1. If its only vanity and not for any other purpose, we can leave it out.

3. Emphasis supporting creators that people want to work with.
1. Create a networking through chat but also actively in the access to instantly collaborate on a script.
