Plotthread
Why This is an Opportunity
Writers with complex stories are an incredibly passionate niche, and the "evidence board" UI is genuinely exciting to build. Existing tools are either generic wikis or bloated writing suites — nobody's nailed the continuity-tracking angle.
Key Pain Points
- •You accidentally give a character two different eye colors 200 pages apart and a reader calls you out on Reddit
- •You Ctrl+F through a 90,000-word document trying to remember when a character last appeared
- •Scrivener and Notion are powerful but neither is designed for tracking narrative continuity across a complex plot
- •Collaborating on a shared story (co-authors, writers' rooms) means continuity errors multiply exponentially
Original Discovery
Writers and showrunners working on complex stories (novels, web serials, actual play podcasts) lose track of their own continuity — did the villain already reveal their motive in chapter 12? Is this character left-handed or right-handed? Plotthread is a timeline-meets-wiki where you log scenes, tag characters and plot points, and instantly catch contradictions. It's like a detective's evidence board but for your own fiction.
