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

IronBee scores highly overall, with a complete set of security headers, a thorough launch checklist, and well-configured email security. Main gaps: incomplete legal pages.

Launched on Hacker News on August 13, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered in 1998. We've detected 33 technologies on this site, covering transactional email, security, seo, and analytics. The stack includes Amazon SES, Anthropic, and Apollo Client.

It's more locked down than the typical Hacker News launch.

This score is based on structural patterns and is not definitive. Many legitimate sites may trigger signals, and AI-built sites may go undetected. It should be treated as an indicator, not a verdict.
