Added May 22, 2026 · Last analysed May 22, 2026 · via · 75% unique tagline

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 22 May 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Vendor Sentinel - Early Warning System scores highly overall, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and clean crawl signals. Main gaps: missing several security headers, tracking cookies set before any opt-in, and incomplete email security.

Launched on Product Hunt on May 22, 2026. The site is hosted on IONOS, with a domain registered in 2021. The crawl picked up 15 technologies on this site, covering analytics, CSS frameworks, DNS providers, and business email. The stack includes Bootstrap, Font Awesome, and Google Analytics.

For context, it's one of just 4 launches we've crawled on this exact stack.
