Build on textlog

A quieter place for your thoughts.

Added August 10, 2026 · Last analysed August 10, 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 10 August 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Build on textlog is largely in shape, with a complete set of security headers, a thorough launch checklist, and clean crawl signals. Main gaps: incomplete legal pages and incomplete email security.

Launched on Hacker News on August 10, 2026. The site is hosted on Interserver in the United States. The crawl picked up 5 technologies on this site, covering transactional email, DNS providers, security, and servers. The stack includes Amazon SES, Caddy, and HSTS.

For context, it's more locked down than the typical Hacker News launch.

This score is based on structural patterns and is not definitive. Many legitimate sites may trigger signals, and AI-built sites may go undetected. It should be treated as an indicator, not a verdict.
