The backstory
Typefully is a loved writing tool for composing and scheduling threads on X and LinkedIn, with a clean editor, previews, and analytics. The problem is that "write me a thread" is now a free prompt in any chatbot, so the AI drafting angle no longer sells it. It's WOUNDED because the distraction-free writing experience, scheduling, and engagement analytics still keep creators around, even as the generation piece becomes free.
