The Massive Cocoa Screenplay v2.1b Update is Live!
Welcome to the most comprehensive update to Ijustwannawrite yet. The goal is simple: eliminate formatting distractions so you can focus entirely on the story, while equipping you with every professional tool required from a modern screenwriting suite.
Here is the complete breakdown of everything packed into v2.1b.
The Core Formatting Engine
- Smart Element Progression: Hit Enter, and the editor automatically anticipates the next logical element (e.g., jumping from Character to Dialogue, or Scene Heading to Action).
- Dual Dialogue: Select two adjacent character blocks and instantly format them into industry-standard side-by-side dual dialogue.
- Auto-(CONT’D): The editor actively scans your script and automatically appends “(CONT’D)” when an action line or page break interrupts a character’s dialogue.
- Pro Shortcuts: Seamlessly toggle between elements using Alt-key shortcuts or simple Tab spacing.
- Special Formatting: Built-in support for centered text and italicized lyrics.
Advanced File Support & Exporting
- Universal Import: Drag and drop your existing scripts. Full parser support for FDX, Celtx, Open Screenplay Format (OSF), Fountain, and the native JSON format.
- Pro PDF Engine: A custom-built PDF generator that perfectly formats title pages, handles A4 versus Letter sizing, and manages strict industry margins.
Outlining & Organization
- Interactive Index Cards: Toggle a visual grid of your scenes. Drag and drop cards to restructure your narrative on the fly.
- Smart Character Tracker: Automatically scans your script, counts character appearances, and categorizes them by importance (Main, Secondary, Supporting, Minor).
- Scene Navigator: A draggable, virtualized list of every scene for rapid document navigation.
- Script Notes: Attach floating, non-printing yellow sticky notes directly to specific paragraphs.
Revisions & Version Control
- Color-Coded Revisions: Highlight text changes using standard industry revision colors (Blue, Pink, Yellow, Green, Goldenrod).
- Accept/Reject Controls: Click any revision block to bring up an inline UI to merge changes into the main script or revert them.
- Snapshot Saving: Save specific versions (like Final, Shooting, Production, or custom names) directly to your local workspace.
UI & Accessibility
- Center Focus Mode: Enable typewriter-style scrolling that keeps your active line perfectly centered vertically on the screen.
- Smart Page Breaks: The editor calculates line heights and controls widows/orphans to ensure character names stay attached to their dialogue across page breaks.
- The Quick Toolbar & Format Bar: A context-aware toolbar that you can dock, float, or hide completely for a minimal writing canvas.
- Mobile Minimal Mode: A condensed UI with optimized touch targets for writing on the go.
- Themes: Full Light and Dark mode support.
Minimal UI
Secure Online Sharing
- Monetized Share Links: Built-in PayPal integration allows you to generate secure, tiered access links to your script (Free 24-hour access, 30-day Feedback access, or 180-day Submission access).
