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 25 June 2026; the live site may have changed since.

BetterOpenSource is largely in shape, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and fast page loads. What needs work: missing several security headers, tracking cookies set before any opt-in, and no email security records.

Launched on Product Hunt on June 25, 2026. The site is hosted on Amazon.com in the United States, with a domain registered 3 weeks before launch. The crawl picked up 13 technologies on this site, covering analytics, security, CDN, and CSS frameworks. The stack includes Next.js, React, and Tailwind CSS.

For context, it's running the same core stack as 8,554 other launches.
