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 19 April 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Kotauth looks production-ready overall, with complete legal pages and a thorough launch checklist. Worth fixing first: no Strict-Transport-Security, no robots.txt or sitemap, and analytics without a consent banner.

Launched on PeerPush on April 19, 2026. The site is hosted on DigitalOcean in the United States, with a domain registered 5 weeks before launch. We've detected 10 technologies on this site, covering analytics, advertising, CSS frameworks, and DNS providers. The stack includes Tailwind CSS, DigitalOcean DNS, and Formspree.

It's running the same core stack as 932 other launches and tighter on security headers than most PeerPush launches.
