Howtosee

A collective archive redirecting computer vision from extraction and certainty toward shifting, interpretive ways of seeing.

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 5 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.

Howtosee still has work before launch. Main gaps: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and no robots.txt or sitemap.

Launched on Hacker News on May 5, 2026. The site is hosted on Vercel, with a domain registered 3 months before launch. The crawl picked up 5 technologies on this site, covering DNS providers, web fonts, hosting, and meta-frameworks. The stack includes SvelteKit, Google Fonts, and HSTS.

For context, it's one of just 14 launches we've crawled on this exact stack.
