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 29 April 2026; the live site may have changed since.

TripBalls has the basics covered well, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and clean crawl signals. Worth fixing first: missing several security headers and incomplete email security.

Launched on Hacker News on April 29, 2026. The site is hosted on Railway and served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered 10 weeks before launch. Our crawler found 17 technologies on this site, covering affiliate, analytics, backend framework, and CDN. The stack includes Awin, Cloudflare, and Cloudflare DNS.

It's also running the same core stack as 485 other launches.
