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 5 August 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Next Steps is largely in shape, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and clean crawl signals. What needs work: missing several security headers and no email security records.

Launched on Product Hunt on August 5, 2026. The site is hosted on Google Cloud, with a domain registered in 2021. The crawl picked up 13 technologies on this site, covering developer tools, ui library, AI builders, and APIs. The stack includes Clerk, Tailwind CSS, and Google APIs.

For context, it's running the same core stack as 693 other launches.
