PlotTwist
Why This is an Opportunity
Writers are an incredibly passionate community who spend real money on tools (Scrivener has millions of users). A visual story structure tool hits a gap that existing writing software completely ignores — everyone focuses on the writing, nobody helps you see the architecture.
Key Pain Points
- •Losing track of subplots and character arcs across a 300-page manuscript
- •No way to visualize pacing — you can't tell that Act 2 is twice as long as it should be until someone reads the whole thing
- •Keeping a separate spreadsheet to track which characters appear in which chapters is tedious and always out of date
- •Outline tools are either too rigid (beat sheets) or too freeform (sticky notes) — nothing shows the actual shape of your story
Original Discovery
For writers, screenwriters, and game designers who get stuck in their own stories. Paste in your plot outline or character descriptions, and PlotTwist visualizes your narrative as an interactive timeline — showing character arcs, plot holes, pacing issues, and scenes where nothing actually happens. It's like a mixing board for your story structure. See the shape of your narrative instead of drowning in a 90-page Google Doc.
