Launchshots

Apple moved In-App Events into search results in 2025. One habit tracker gained 400K downloads from a single event. The indie cadence that works, by category.

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 June 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Launchshots ships with the launch fundamentals in place, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and clean crawl signals. What needs work: missing Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, tracking cookies set before any opt-in, and incomplete email security.

Launched on Hacker News on June 24, 2026. The site is hosted on OVH SAS in France, with a domain registered 5 weeks before launch. The crawl picked up 7 technologies on this site, covering servers, analytics, DNS providers, and web fonts. The stack includes Google Analytics, Google Fonts, and Google Tag Manager.

For context, it's a rare Güzel Hosting sighting, just 17 in our data and tighter on security headers than most Hacker News launches.
