Show HN: Electric Sheep – A News Reader

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 22 June 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Electric Sheep is partway there, with fast page loads. What needs work: missing Permissions-Policy and Content-Security-Policy, incomplete legal pages, and no sitemap.

Launched on Hacker News on June 22, 2026. The site is hosted on Hetzner Online GmbH in Germany, with a domain registered in 2025. The crawl picked up 8 technologies on this site, covering CSS frameworks, developer tools, DNS providers, and business email. The stack includes Rails, Tailwind CSS, and Apple Business Connect.

For context, it's one of 66 launches on this exact stack and tighter on security headers than most Hacker News launches.
