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 12 April 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Ubik ships with the basics, with complete legal pages and a thorough launch checklist. Visible gaps: missing several security headers, no robots.txt or sitemap, and incomplete email security.

Launched on Hacker News on April 3, 2026. The site is hosted on Vercel and served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered in 2023. We've detected 12 technologies on this site, covering security, analytics, auth, and CDN. The stack includes Clerk, Next.js, and React.

It's on one of the most common stacks we track, shared by 10,672 launches.

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.
