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

Trying to Code covers some of the launch checklist, with complete legal pages. Main gaps: missing several security headers, no sitemap, and tracking cookies set before any opt-in.

Launched on Product Hunt on July 17, 2026. The site is served through Fastly, with a domain registered in 2025. Our crawler found 15 technologies on this site, covering security, transactional email, advertising, and analytics. The stack includes Fastly, Firebase, and Firebase App Check.
