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 14 July 2026; the live site may have changed since.

RateForge ships with the launch fundamentals in place, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and clean crawl signals. Worth fixing first: no Content-Security-Policy and incomplete email security.

Launched on Product Hunt on July 14, 2026. The site is hosted on Vercel, with a domain registered 6 days before launch. Our crawler found 10 technologies on this site, covering analytics, DNS providers, email forwarding, and frameworks. The stack includes Next.js, React, and Google Search Console.

It's also running the same core stack as 2,183 other launches and tighter on security headers than most Product Hunt launches.
