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

Indieapps looks production-ready overall, with a thorough launch checklist. Worth fixing first: no Permissions-Policy, incomplete legal pages, and no sitemap.

Launched on Hacker News on April 29, 2026. The site is hosted on DigitalOcean in the United States. We've detected 4 technologies on this site, covering DNS providers, security, social embeds, and storage. The stack includes DigitalOcean Spaces, HSTS, and Mastodon.

It's tighter on security headers than most Hacker News 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.
