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

HeronSignal has the basics covered well, with a thorough launch checklist and clean crawl signals. What needs work: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and incomplete email security.

Launched on Product Hunt on August 6, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered 8 weeks before launch. Our crawler found 14 technologies on this site, covering auth, CDN, CSS frameworks, and DNS providers. The stack includes Auth.js, Next.js, and React.

It's also running the same core stack as 4,723 other launches.
