Compare how many AI tasks an hour of work buys across countries, models, reasoning efforts, and benchmark costs per task.

Added August 2, 2026 · Last analysed August 2, 2026 · via Hacker News

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

Wage Against the Machine ships with the basics, with a thorough launch checklist and clean crawl signals. What needs work: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and no email security records.

Launched on Hacker News on August 1, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered 1 day before launch. We've detected 4 technologies on this site, covering CDN, developer tools, meta-frameworks, and security. The stack includes vinext, Cloudflare, and Cloudflare Bot Management.

It's one of 60 launches on this exact stack.
