Certscore

Seven backend patterns that took CertScore's worst-case onboarding from 17 minutes down to 2 minutes 7 seconds. Parallel verification, atomic INSERT ON CONFLICT, statement-level triggers, NDJSON streaming, native vs OTA, and the observability layer we built to prove it worked.

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 12 May 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Certscore scores highly overall, with complete legal pages, a complete set of security headers, and a thorough launch checklist. Main gaps: incomplete email security.

Launched on Hacker News on May 12, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare. We've detected 17 technologies on this site, covering hr, analytics, auth, and baas. The stack includes Google Sign-In, Next.js, and React.

It's on one of the most common stacks we track, shared by 3,960 launches and more locked down than the typical Hacker News launch.
