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 August 2026; the live site may have changed since.

NextBlock CMS ships with the launch fundamentals in place, with complete legal pages, a complete set of security headers, and a thorough launch checklist. Worth fixing first: incomplete email security.

Launched on Hacker News on August 19, 2026. The site is hosted on Vercel, with a domain registered 5 months before launch. The crawl picked up 22 technologies on this site, covering ui library, video, advertising, and analytics. The stack includes Freemius, Next.js, and React.

For context, it's a rare Freemius sighting, just 25 in our data and tighter on security headers than most Hacker News launches.
