Show HN: We built the smallest dual-band aircraft tracker

Added August 27, 2026 · Last analysed August 27, 2026 · via Hacker News

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 August 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Pantsforbirds is partway there, with well-configured email security and clean crawl signals. What needs work: missing several security headers and incomplete legal pages.

Launched on Hacker News on August 26, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered in 2019. The crawl picked up 19 technologies on this site, covering wordpress plugin, analytics, captcha, and CDN. The stack includes Google, WooCommerce, and WordPress.
