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

Appear ships with the launch fundamentals in place, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and clean crawl signals. What needs work: missing Permissions-Policy and Content-Security-Policy, analytics without a consent banner, and incomplete email security.

Launched on Product Hunt on April 20, 2026. The site is hosted on Google LLC in the United States, with a domain registered in 2025. The crawl picked up 19 technologies on this site, covering analytics, advertising, build tooling, and CSS frameworks. The stack includes Tailwind CSS, Vite, and Amplitude.

For context, it's running the same core stack as 2,723 other launches and tighter on security headers than most Product Hunt launches.
