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

SideStackers looks production-ready overall, with a thorough launch checklist and clean crawl signals. What needs work: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and tracking cookies set before any opt-in.

Launched on Product Hunt on July 4, 2026. The site is hosted on Vercel and served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered 5 months before launch. We've detected 16 technologies on this site, covering analytics, security, ui library, and CDN. The stack includes Next.js, React, and Tailwind CSS.

It's running the same core stack as 9,305 other launches.
