PorchWeather

Some days, the best AC is an open window. PorchWeather watches your local forecast and pings you the moment it's nice enough to open the windows.

StackScope records what new websites are built with, the week they launch. Most we find ourselves, by watching public internet infrastructure for brand-new sites; the rest come from Product Hunt, Hacker News and PeerPush. We crawled this one for its tech stack and scored it for launch readiness: DNS, security headers, SEO basics. This page is what we saw on 29 August 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Every technology below links to its own page: which other new sites launched with it. Vendors and agencies watch those pages with Stackdar and hear about new adopters the week they ship, from £15 a month.

PorchWeather ships with the basics, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and well-configured email security. Worth fixing first: missing several security headers and no sitemap.

Launched on Hacker News on August 28, 2026. The site is hosted on AWS S3 and served through AWS CloudFront, with a domain registered 7 months before launch. We've detected 9 technologies on this site, covering CDN, cloud, CSS frameworks, and DNS providers. The stack includes Svelte, SvelteKit, and Tailwind CSS.

It's running a stack combination we've seen on no other launch.
