Own this Launch?

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

Alphabetsoup is largely in shape, with a thorough launch checklist. Worth fixing first: no Permissions-Policy, incomplete legal pages, and no sitemap.

Launched on Hacker News on August 9, 2026. The site is hosted on Railway and served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered 6 weeks before launch. The crawl picked up 7 technologies on this site, covering backend framework, CDN, DNS providers, and web fonts. The stack includes Cloudflare, Cloudflare DNS, and Google Search Console.

For context, it's running the same core stack as 575 other launches and tighter on security headers than most Hacker News launches.
