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

Zapp Chess ships with the launch fundamentals in place, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and well-configured email security. What needs work: missing several security headers.

Launched on Product Hunt on August 5, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered in 2025. We've detected 16 technologies on this site, covering analytics, advertising, CDN, and consent tooling. The stack includes Google Funding Choices, Next.js, and React.

It's running the same core stack as 4,716 other launches.
