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 April 2026; the live site may have changed since.
Smoke & Silicon is largely in shape, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and well-configured email security. Worth fixing first: missing several security headers.
Launched on Product Hunt on April 26, 2026. The site is hosted on Heroku and served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered in 2020. The crawl picked up 11 technologies on this site, covering security, social embeds, CDN, and developer tools. The stack includes Beehiiv, Birdie, and Bluesky.
For context, it's one of 44 launches on this exact stack.
