Bulaev

We waited 65 years for the chrome arm. The merge happened in our messengers instead. I noticed it in my own business, by accident.

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

Bulaev ships with the launch fundamentals in place, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and fast page loads. Worth fixing first: missing several security headers and incomplete email security.

Launched on Hacker News on July 14, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered in 2002. We've detected 17 technologies on this site, covering security, ui library, analytics, and backend framework. The stack includes Amazon Web Services, Cloudflare, and Cloudflare Bot Management.
