Own this Launch?

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 August 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Openmicrokbd has the basics covered well, with a thorough launch checklist, fast page loads, and clean crawl signals. Visible gaps: no Strict-Transport-Security, incomplete legal pages, and tracking cookies set before any opt-in.

Launched on Hacker News on August 12, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare. Our crawler found 6 technologies on this site, covering analytics, CDN, DNS providers, and tag management. The stack includes Cloudflare, Cloudflare DNS, and Cloudflare Web Analytics.

It's also more locked down than the typical Hacker News launch.
