StackScope records what new websites are built with, the week they launch. Most we find ourselves, by watching public internet infrastructure for brand-new sites; the rest come from Product Hunt, Hacker News and PeerPush. We crawled this one for its tech stack and scored it for launch readiness: DNS, security headers, SEO basics. This page is what we saw on 21 April 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Every technology below links to its own page: which other new sites launched with it. Vendors and agencies watch those pages with Stackdar and hear about new adopters the week they ship, from £15 a month.

Explain The Law scores highly overall, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and clean crawl signals. Visible gaps: no Content-Security-Policy, tracking cookies set before any opt-in, and incomplete email security.

Launched on Hacker News on April 20, 2026. The site is hosted on Netlify, with a domain registered in 2020. Our crawler found 8 technologies on this site, covering analytics, developer tools, DNS providers, and business email. The stack includes Cloudflare DNS, Google Analytics, and Google Search Console.

It's also on one of the most common stacks we track, shared by 2,206 launches and more locked down than the typical Hacker News launch.
