Own this Launch?

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

Theheasman is largely in shape, with a thorough launch checklist and clean crawl signals. Worth fixing first: missing Permissions-Policy and Content-Security-Policy, incomplete legal pages, and incomplete email security.

Launched on Hacker News on August 10, 2026. The site is hosted on EasyWP, with a domain registered in 2020. The crawl picked up 26 technologies on this site, covering wordpress plugin, javascript library, analytics, and hosting. The stack includes Google, WordPress, and Blocksy.

For context, it's a rare EasyWP sighting, just 22 in our data and tighter on security headers than most Hacker News launches.
