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

MintPDF still has work before launch. Visible gaps: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and no email security records.

Launched on Hacker News on August 12, 2026. The site is hosted on Railway, with a domain registered 2 days before launch. The crawl picked up 4 technologies on this site, covering analytics, DNS providers, hosting, and seo. The stack includes Cloudflare DNS, Google Search Console, and Railway.

For context, it's on one of the most common stacks we track, shared by 591 launches.

SignalPoints
AI writing signals +3

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.
