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

Hacker Times ships with the basics. Worth fixing first: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and no robots.txt.

Launched on Hacker News on June 28, 2026. The site is hosted on Amazon.com in the United States, with a domain registered in 2023. We've detected 9 technologies on this site, covering analytics, DNS providers, error tracking, and frameworks. The stack includes Next.js, React, and Google Search Console.

It's running the same core stack as 1,814 other launches.
