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 29 July 2026; the live site may have changed since.

PDFUnlock covers some of the launch checklist, with clean crawl signals. What needs work: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and incomplete email security.

Launched on Hacker News on July 29, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare. Our crawler found 5 technologies on this site, covering CDN, DNS providers, email forwarding, and protocol. The stack includes Cloudflare, Cloudflare DNS, and Cloudflare Email Routing.
