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.

Better Call Salon ships with the launch fundamentals in place, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and clean crawl signals. What needs work: missing several security headers and incomplete email security.

Launched on Product Hunt on August 11, 2026. The site is hosted on Railway and served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered 12 weeks before launch. The crawl picked up 13 technologies on this site, covering ui library, auth, CDN, and CSS frameworks. The stack includes Auth.js, Next.js, and React.

For context, it's running the same core stack as 508 other launches.
