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

PicSum is partway there. Main gaps: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and no robots.txt.

Launched on Product Hunt on August 11, 2026. The site is hosted on GitHub Pages and served through Fastly. The crawl picked up 2 technologies on this site, covering CDN and hosting. The stack includes Fastly and GitHub Pages.

For context, it's on one of the most common stacks we track, shared by 2,238 launches.
