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 15 July 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Indie Chains ships with the launch fundamentals in place, with complete legal pages, a complete set of security headers, and a thorough launch checklist. Worth fixing first: incomplete email security.

Launched on Product Hunt on July 15, 2026. The site is hosted on Vercel, with a domain registered 10 weeks before launch. The crawl picked up 14 technologies on this site, covering directory, CSS frameworks, DNS providers, and email forwarding. The stack includes Next.js, React, and Tailwind CSS.

For context, it's running the same core stack as 10,372 other launches and tighter on security headers than most Product Hunt launches.
