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

Forgeon has the basics covered well, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and clean crawl signals. What needs work: missing several security headers and incomplete email security.

Launched on Product Hunt on July 26, 2026. The site is hosted on DigitalOcean in the United States, with a domain registered 7 months before launch. Our crawler found 13 technologies on this site, covering advertising, analytics, consent tooling, and CSS frameworks. The stack includes Google, Next.js, and React.

It's also running the same core stack as 4,269 other launches.
