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

Chesspoly ships with the basics, with fast page loads. Visible gaps: no Permissions-Policy, incomplete legal pages, and no sitemap.

Launched on Hacker News on August 7, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered 1 day before launch. We've detected 5 technologies on this site, covering backend framework, CDN, DNS providers, and protocol. The stack includes Cloudflare, Cloudflare DNS, and HSTS.

It's more locked down than the typical Hacker News launch.

This score is based on structural patterns and is not definitive. Many legitimate sites may trigger signals, and AI-built sites may go undetected. It should be treated as an indicator, not a verdict.
