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

Benthic has the basics covered well, with a complete set of security headers, a thorough launch checklist, and clean crawl signals. Worth fixing first: incomplete legal pages and incomplete email security.

Launched on Product Hunt on July 23, 2026. The site is hosted on Vercel and served through Cloudflare. Our crawler found 11 technologies on this site, covering auth, security, CDN, and developer tools. The stack includes Google OAuth, Google Sign-In, and Anime.js.

It's also running the same core stack as 3,120 other launches and tighter on security headers than most Product Hunt launches.
