The Public Tab

Show HN: The Public Tab – See every federal dollar flowing through your district

Added April 17, 2026 · Last analysed April 17, 2026 · via Hacker News · 73% unique tagline

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

The Public Tab has the basics covered well, with complete legal pages. Visible gaps: missing Permissions-Policy and Content-Security-Policy, no sitemap, and tracking cookies set before any opt-in.

Launched on Hacker News on April 16, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered 4 weeks before launch. Our crawler found 12 technologies on this site, covering analytics, backend framework, CDN, and CSS frameworks. The stack includes Tailwind CSS, Vue.js, and Cloudflare.

It's also on one of the most common stacks we track, shared by 244 launches and more locked down than the typical Hacker News launch.
