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

Meritocrat is partway there, with a thorough launch checklist and clean crawl signals. Main gaps: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and tracking cookies set before any opt-in.

Launched on Product Hunt on July 5, 2026. The site is served through AWS CloudFront. The crawl picked up 13 technologies on this site, covering analytics, CDN, cloud, and CSS frameworks. The stack includes Next.js, React, and Tailwind CSS.

For context, it's on one of the most common stacks we track, shared by 3,330 launches.
