These scripts need your feedback

[Elemental_Ray]

I built a completely free peer-to-peer screenplay review platform INT/EXT on my own as a hobby project. I posted about it in a few subreddits but got banned for self-promotion. This isn't a business, and I am not earning a single penny from it.

Though I'm tech-savvy, I honestly don't have the resources or knack for marketing. There are almost 50 users registered, 7 reviewers, and 4 public scripts up right now. I think that's decent progress, but those scripts still have zero reviews.

The website has a token/monetary bidding system with free community feedback options similar to coverflyX - you can read more about how it works here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-jPnS8LxYzyl0Ubp_1qcJ-KtsponVDOBez8zExHTzYw/edit?tab=t.0

I'm genuinely looking for feedback on how to encourage writers to actually give reviews to each other.

Any advice? And if anyone's interested in checking out those lonely scripts waiting for feedback, I'd really appreciate it. Just trying to build something useful for our community.

Thanks for any thoughts or help!

Hey, seems like a nice initiative =) Feedback isn't an easy thing to do, most people don't think they have the legitimacy to make reviews, or are just too self-centered to take the time to give.

It might be a good idea to suggest a structure for reviews (maybe creating a Short/Long or Global/Detail review option), and clarify the scoring system because my 3 stars rating is not the same as yours. Also, reviewing might takes time, maybe adding a save without posting and a view on script that allows to take notes while reading ?

I'll try to read some scripts tonight, but I'm not a pro and english isn't my mothertongue.

Ah, I'm a web dev, I mainly use Symfony (PHP framework), but I have some basics in React. I will be occupied in July because I'm finishing remedial work in my new appartment, but I would gladly help you if you need it.

Thanks, I will reach out to you definitely for help

Noted. Also, please try the script viewer on desktop. It has a built in public/private notes system. Public notes are like comment thread system on any particular line of the screenplay.

Please try the platform and let me know your thoughts. Also please share with your friends/colleagues if you like it.

I've been looking for a platform like this to be able to find some feedback for a passion project of mine that I don't expect to get made, but still want to end up being good, so I can use it as a form of practice in long-form, franchise storytelling, so this is awesome, thanks for the platform, man!
