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 April 2026; the live site may have changed since.

ModelCost is largely in shape, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and clean crawl signals. Main gaps: missing several security headers, tracking cookies set before any opt-in, and incomplete email security.

Launched on Product Hunt on April 7, 2026. The site is hosted on AWS S3 and served through AWS CloudFront, with a domain registered 7 weeks before launch. The crawl picked up 10 technologies on this site, covering analytics, CDN, cloud, and DNS providers. The stack includes Next.js, React, and Amazon Web Services.

For context, it's one of just 18 launches we've crawled on this exact stack.
