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 23 June 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Launchshots scores well across the board, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and clean crawl signals. Main gaps: missing Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, tracking cookies set before any opt-in, and incomplete email security.

Launched on Hacker News on June 23, 2026. The site is hosted on OVH SAS in France, with a domain registered 5 weeks before launch. The crawl picked up 9 technologies on this site, covering servers, analytics, DNS providers, and web fonts. The stack includes Google Analytics, Google Fonts, and Google Tag Manager.

For context, it's one of only 15 launches we've crawled running GuzelHosting and more locked down than the typical Hacker News launch.
