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 June 2026; the live site may have changed since.

College Decoded ships with the launch fundamentals in place, with complete legal pages, a complete set of security headers, and a thorough launch checklist. What needs work: incomplete email security.

Launched on Product Hunt on June 16, 2026. The site is hosted on Cloudflare in the United States, with a domain registered in 2007. We've detected 30 technologies on this site, covering analytics, auth, advertising, and business email. The stack includes Apple Sign In, Azure AD B2C, and Google Sign-In.

It's a rare Azure AD B2C sighting, just 3 in our data and tighter on security headers than most Product Hunt launches.
