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 26 August 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Athena covers some of the launch checklist, with a thorough launch checklist and clean crawl signals. Visible gaps: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and incomplete email security.

Launched on Product Hunt on August 26, 2026. The site is hosted on Vercel, with a domain registered 5 months before launch. Our crawler found 10 technologies on this site, covering DNS providers, business email, transactional email, and frameworks. The stack includes Next.js, React, and Google Search Console.

It's also on one of the most common stacks we track, shared by 3,234 launches.
