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.

VCNews looks production-ready overall, with a thorough launch checklist and clean crawl signals. Visible gaps: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and incomplete email security.

Launched on Product Hunt on August 11, 2026. The site is hosted on Hostinger. We've detected 12 technologies on this site, covering seo, consent tooling, DNS providers, and business email. The stack includes Cookiebot, Next.js, and React.

It's one of 50 launches on this exact stack.
