About StackScope

A directory of new product launches, annotated with the tech behind them.

What we do

StackScope.dev pulls new launches from Product Hunt, Hacker News and a few other sources, then crawls each site to extract what it's built with. Frameworks, hosting providers, CDNs, DNS configuration, security headers, the SaaS tools loaded on the page, and so on. Every signal comes from content that a regular browser would load.

We don't log in, submit forms, or touch anything behind a login.

Why we built it

Knowing what tech a founder shipped their launch on is surprisingly hard. The big web-scale directories don't specialise in new launches and tend to miss the patterns that indie and early-stage products ship with. StackScope is narrower: brand-new sites, solo-founder builds, AI-first products, early-stage SaaS.

How we work

Our crawler identifies itself as StackScopeBot/1.0 (+https://stackscope.dev/bot), respects robots.txt, and crawls each launch once. Full crawler details, including how to opt out, are on the bot page. Analytics and data practices are on the privacy page.
