StackScope is a free public catalogue of indie launches. We find launches on Product Hunt, Hacker News and similar feeds, then crawl each site to detect its tech stack and score it for launch readiness: DNS, security headers, SEO basics. This page is what we saw on 18 June 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Merlin by Encord looks production-ready overall, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and well-configured email security. Main gaps: missing several security headers.

Launched on Product Hunt on June 18, 2026. The site is hosted on Fastly in the United States, with a domain registered in 2001. We've detected 28 technologies on this site, covering security, CDN, scheduling, and seo. The stack includes Gatsby, Google, and Prismic.

It's one of only 6 launches we've crawled running Prismic.
