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

Helpdesk by Virtual Shinobis is largely in shape, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and clean crawl signals. Worth fixing first: missing several security headers and incomplete email security.

Launched on Product Hunt on August 10, 2026. The site is hosted on Vercel and served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered in 2023. The crawl picked up 14 technologies on this site, covering security, video, analytics, and CDN. The stack includes Tailwind CSS, Cloudflare, and Cloudflare Bot Management.

For context, it's running the same core stack as 2,869 other launches.
