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 14 July 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Pdfmarkdown scores highly overall, with a thorough launch checklist and clean crawl signals. Visible gaps: missing Permissions-Policy and Content-Security-Policy, incomplete legal pages, and incomplete email security.

Launched on Hacker News on July 14, 2026. The site is hosted on Vercel, with a domain registered 6 weeks before launch. We've detected 11 technologies on this site, covering analytics, collaboration, CSS frameworks, and DNS providers. The stack includes Astro, Tailwind CSS, and Cloudflare DNS.

It's on one of the most common stacks we track, shared by 136 launches and more locked down than the typical Hacker News launch.
