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

Pier still has work before launch. Visible gaps: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and no robots.txt or sitemap.

Launched on Hacker News on August 9, 2026. The site is hosted on Hetzner Online GmbH in Germany, with a domain registered in 2022. The crawl picked up 3 technologies on this site, covering meta-frameworks, package cdn, and servers. The stack includes Astro, jsDelivr, and nginx.

For context, it's on one of the most common stacks we track, shared by 395 launches.
