It's usable now, but still under development... no electron yet

npm i && npm start  

open localhost:3000

Demo:

Standard movie script format.

Basic use: pretty much like Final Draft, short-cut:

• ctrl+1: Scene
• ctrl+2: Action
• ctrl+3: Character
• ctrl+4: Parethetical
• ctrl+5: Dialogue
• ctrl+6: Transition
• ctrl+7: Shot

Print: command+p, you can print your script as PDF (It's chrome's build-in function, I only CSS-optimized it as: US Letter)

TODO:

• Maybe a little more prettier
• Add saving
• Add paragraph collections
• Add script chart
• Maybe use div-contentEditable instead of semantic-ui-Textarea, so it's pure react app with no third-party package
• Add some test
• Add output file, if I were to do that, maybe write a .fdx-json convertor first
• Put it in electron, yet, a single-page app is nice still

TRY TO:

• As simple as possible
• Just writing, no bullshit
• .fdx convert

based-on:
electron REACT mobx nedb

key component:

• dashBoard: dash board of all your script
• script: make a standard movie script looking
• paragraph: General~~, Scene Heading, Action, Character, Parenthetical, Dialogue, Transition, Shot, ~~Cast List`
• title page
• tool sider: open, save, new, convert ...
• tool script: collection of Scene, Character, Shot ...

mobx script:

{script:
  {
    titlePage:
    {
      Title: 'LA LA LAND',
      By-line: 'Damien Chazelle'
    },
    Paragraphs: [
      ...
      {$Type: 'General'},
      {$Type: 'Action', _ :
        'Mia gathers her nerves. Gets up. And steps in.'
      },
      ...
      {$Type: 'Scene Heading' , _ :
      {
        Location: 'INI. AUDITION OFFICE',
        Time: 'AFTERNOON'
      },
      ...
      {$Type: 'Shot', _ :
        'WE RETURN to the AUDITION ROOM... Brandt and Frank waiting...'
      },
      ...
      },
      {$Type: 'Character', _ :  
        'MIA'
      },
      {$Type: 'Dialogue', _ :
        "
          Here's to the ones who dream, Foolish as they may seem. Here's to the hearts that ache. Here's to the mess we make...
        "
      },
      ...
