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 17 April 2026; the live site may have changed since.

The Onion Shell is early-stage. Main gaps: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and no robots.txt or sitemap.

Launched on Hacker News on April 17, 2026. The site is hosted on AWS S3 and served through AWS CloudFront. We've detected 5 technologies on this site, covering CDN, cloud, DNS providers, and hosting. The stack includes Amazon Web Services, AWS CloudFront, and AWS Route 53.

It's on one of the most common stacks we track, shared by 343 launches.
