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

Paper Lantern ships with the basics, with a thorough launch checklist and fast page loads. What needs work: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and no sitemap.

Launched on Hacker News on April 17, 2026. The site is hosted on Vercel, with a domain registered in 2025. We've detected 15 technologies on this site, covering analytics, frameworks, auth, and CSS frameworks. The stack includes Auth.js, Next.js, and React.

It's on a stack we've seen on only 4 launches.

This score is based on structural patterns and is not definitive. Many legitimate sites may trigger signals, and AI-built sites may go undetected. It should be treated as an indicator, not a verdict.
