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 27 April 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Branch Social covers some of the launch checklist, with complete legal pages. Main gaps: missing several security headers, no robots.txt or sitemap, and tracking cookies set before any opt-in.

Launched on Product Hunt on April 27, 2026. The site is hosted on Firebase App Hosting. Our crawler found 16 technologies on this site, covering hosting, security, analytics, and baas. The stack includes Next.js, React, and Tailwind CSS.

It's also on one of the most common stacks we track, shared by 106 launches.
