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 1 July 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Snowball is largely in shape, with a thorough launch checklist and clean crawl signals. Main gaps: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and tracking cookies set before any opt-in.

Launched on Product Hunt on July 1, 2026. The site is hosted on Vercel and served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered 3 days before launch. The crawl picked up 15 technologies on this site, covering analytics, directory, CDN, and DNS providers. The stack includes Next.js, React, and Cloudflare.

For context, it's on one of the most common stacks we track, shared by 1,902 launches.

This score is based on structural patterns and is not definitive. Many legitimate sites may trigger signals, and AI-built sites may go undetected. It should be treated as an indicator, not a verdict.
