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 3 August 2026; the live site may have changed since.

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

Launched on Hacker News on August 3, 2026. The site is hosted on OVH SAS in France, with a domain registered in 2021. We've detected 9 technologies on this site, covering affiliate, CSS frameworks, developer tools, and DNS providers. The stack includes Tailwind CSS, Brevo, and Caddy.

It's on one of the most common stacks we track, shared by 6,580 launches.
