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

Stingle Photos is early-stage. Worth fixing first: missing several security headers and no robots.txt or sitemap.

Launched on Hacker News on August 18, 2026. The site is hosted on DigitalOcean in the United States. We've detected 9 technologies on this site, covering javascript library, servers, DNS providers, and business email. The stack includes Apache, Debian, and Google Search Console.
