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

PixelForge is partway there, with a thorough launch checklist, fast page loads, and clean crawl signals. Worth fixing first: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and tracking cookies set before any opt-in.

Launched on Product Hunt on August 16, 2026. The site is hosted on Vercel, with a domain registered the day of launch. The crawl picked up 9 technologies on this site, covering analytics, auth, DNS providers, and frameworks. The stack includes Auth.js, Next.js, and React.

For context, it's running the same core stack as 2,960 other launches.
