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 25 August 2026; the live site may have changed since.

The Daily Outbid covers some of the launch checklist, with a thorough launch checklist. Main gaps: missing Permissions-Policy and Content-Security-Policy, incomplete legal pages, and no robots.txt or sitemap.

Launched on Hacker News on August 25, 2026. The site is hosted on Vercel, with a domain registered the day of launch. Our crawler found 6 technologies on this site, covering analytics, DNS providers, frameworks, and hosting. The stack includes Next.js, React, and HSTS.

It's also on one of the most common stacks we track, shared by 3,233 launches and more locked down than the typical Hacker News launch.
