StackScope records what new websites are built with, the week they launch. Most we find ourselves, by watching public internet infrastructure for brand-new sites; the rest come from Product Hunt, Hacker News and PeerPush. We crawled this one for its tech stack and scored it for launch readiness: DNS, security headers, SEO basics. This page is what we saw on 2 September 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Every technology below links to its own page: which other new sites launched with it. Vendors and agencies watch those pages with Stackdar and hear about new adopters the week they ship, from £15 a month.

IndieTools ships with the launch fundamentals in place, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and clean crawl signals. Worth fixing first: no Content-Security-Policy, tracking cookies set before any opt-in, and incomplete email security.

Launched on Product Hunt on September 2, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered 8 months before launch. Our crawler found 34 technologies on this site, covering directory, analytics, ui library, and auth. The stack includes Google Sign-In, Next.js, and React.

It's also running the same core stack as 5,829 other launches and tighter on security headers than most Product Hunt launches.
