Own this Launch?

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 August 2026; the live site may have changed since.

CarrotVPN has the basics covered well, with a thorough launch checklist and clean crawl signals. What needs work: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and tracking cookies set before any opt-in.

Launched on Product Hunt on August 14, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered 3 months before launch. Our crawler found 11 technologies on this site, covering analytics, CDN, CSS frameworks, and directory. The stack includes Tailwind CSS, Cloudflare, and Cloudflare DNS.

It's also running the same core stack as 6,984 other launches.
