What writers say about the Fountain+ Exporter
- ★★★★★
Interesting little niche extension. If you want something simple that lets you export to screenplay formats with minimal fuss this is your extension.
- ★★★★★
It's pretty much Mangaplay's big brother. Makes things seamless.
- ★★★★☆
It's quite useful, but needs polishing.

About Fountain+
Fountain+ is part of the Script 2 Storyboard suite of tools for writers and artists to use their existing platforms with improved workflows.
These tools were created by Pistol Taeja while developing his own manga and short films, because he wanted to continue using Google Docs and Obsidian.
Fountain+ brings screenplay formatting, storyboard visualisation, and production-ready exports directly into the tools you already write in.
