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 19 June 2026; the live site may have changed since.
northstar looks production-ready overall, with a thorough launch checklist and clean crawl signals. Worth fixing first: missing Permissions-Policy and Content-Security-Policy, incomplete legal pages, and no email security records.
Launched on Product Hunt on June 19, 2026. The site is hosted on Amazon.com in the United States, with a domain registered 6 weeks before launch. We've detected 10 technologies on this site, covering security, APIs, CDN, and CSS frameworks. The stack includes Next.js, React, and Tailwind CSS.
It's running the same core stack as 7,957 other launches and tighter on security headers than most Product Hunt launches.
