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

CAO Status Check looks production-ready overall, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and clean crawl signals. Worth fixing first: missing several security headers, tracking cookies set before any opt-in, and no email security records.

Launched on Product Hunt on August 11, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare. We've detected 11 technologies on this site, covering wordpress plugin, analytics, CDN, and CMS. The stack includes WordPress, Ad Inserter, and Cloudflare.

It's running the same core stack as 1,410 other launches.
