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

Zipbox is largely in shape, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and clean crawl signals. Worth fixing first: missing several security headers, tracking cookies set before any opt-in, and no email security records.

Launched on Hacker News on August 5, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered 5 weeks before launch. The crawl picked up 7 technologies on this site, covering analytics, CDN, DNS providers, and error tracking. The stack includes Next.js, React, and Amplitude.

For context, it's running the same core stack as 948 other launches.
