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 12 August 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Humanlayer scores highly overall, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and fast page loads. Main gaps: no Permissions-Policy, no sitemap, and tracking cookies set before any opt-in.

Launched on Hacker News on August 12, 2026. The site is hosted on Vercel, with a domain registered in 2022. Our crawler found 25 technologies on this site, covering analytics, advertising, error tracking, and web fonts. The stack includes Next.js, React, and Tailwind CSS.

It's also on one of the most common stacks we track, shared by 12,968 launches and more locked down than the typical Hacker News launch.
