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 17 May 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.

CaptainsGround is largely in shape, with a complete set of security headers, a thorough launch checklist, and clean crawl signals. Visible gaps: incomplete legal pages, tracking cookies set before any opt-in, and no email security records.

Launched on Product Hunt on May 17, 2026. The site is hosted on Railway and served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered 2 weeks before launch. The crawl picked up 13 technologies on this site, covering security, analytics, auth, and CDN. The stack includes Clerk, Next.js, and React.

For context, it's on one of the most common stacks we track, shared by 597 launches and more locked down than the typical Product Hunt launch.
