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 8 June 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Soundcloud scores well across the board, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and well-configured email security. Visible gaps: missing several security headers.

Launched on Hacker News on June 8, 2026. The site is hosted on Amazon.com in the United States, with a domain registered in 2005. The crawl picked up 40 technologies on this site, covering advertising, seo, developer tools, and analytics. The stack includes Google, OneTrust, and Vite.

For context, it's on one of the most common stacks we track, shared by 746 launches.
