StackScope records what new websites are built with, the week they launch. Most we find ourselves, by watching public internet infrastructure for brand-new sites; the rest come from Product Hunt, Hacker News and PeerPush. We crawled this one for its tech stack and scored it for launch readiness: DNS, security headers, SEO basics. This page is what we saw on 31 August 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Every technology below links to its own page: which other new sites launched with it. Vendors and agencies watch those pages with Stackdar and hear about new adopters the week they ship, from £15 a month.

Academa has the basics covered well, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and clean crawl signals. Visible gaps: missing several security headers, tracking cookies set before any opt-in, and incomplete email security.

Launched on Hacker News on August 30, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered in 2025. Our crawler found 14 technologies on this site, covering javascript library, analytics, CDN, and CSS frameworks. The stack includes Svelte, SvelteKit, and Tailwind CSS.

It's also on one of the most common stacks we track, shared by 110 launches.

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.
