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

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 1,571 launches and more locked down than the typical Hacker News launch.
