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 April 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Flocking Boids is missing several launch fundamentals. What needs work: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and no robots.txt or sitemap.

Launched on Hacker News on April 26, 2026. The site is hosted on DigitalOcean in the United States, with a domain registered in 2024. Our crawler found 6 technologies on this site, covering analytics, advertising, DNS providers, and business email. The stack includes Google Ads, Google Analytics, and Microsoft Clarity.
