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 17 June 2026; the live site may have changed since.

The Masthead 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 Product Hunt on June 17, 2026. The site is hosted on Amazon.com in the United States, with a domain registered 9 weeks before launch. Our crawler found 15 technologies on this site, covering cloud, CDN, CSS frameworks, and DNS providers. The stack includes Next.js, React, and Tailwind CSS.

Notably, it's running the same core stack as 515 other launches and tighter on security headers than most Product Hunt launches.
