MechArchive

Building the reference archive of the world's robots.

Added July 16, 2026 · Last analysed July 16, 2026 · via Hacker News · 50% unique tagline

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 16 July 2026; the live site may have changed since.

MechArchive is partway there, with a thorough launch checklist and clean crawl signals. Worth fixing first: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and tracking cookies set before any opt-in.

Launched on Hacker News on July 16, 2026. The site is hosted on Hetzner Online GmbH in Germany, with a domain registered the day of launch. The crawl picked up 6 technologies on this site, covering analytics, DNS providers, email forwarding, and seo. The stack includes Google Analytics, Google Search Console, and Google Tag Manager.
