Trace

TRACE is an open specification for hardware-attested AI agent governance records. A Trust Record states what ran, where, under which policy, touching which data, calling which tools, in a form any third party can verify without trusting the operator.

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

Trace is largely in shape, with a thorough launch checklist, well-configured email security, and fast page loads. Worth fixing first: missing several security headers and incomplete legal pages.

Launched on Hacker News on August 25, 2026. The site is hosted on GitHub Pages and served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered 9 weeks before launch. The crawl picked up 7 technologies on this site, covering CDN, tag management, hosting, and meta-frameworks. The stack includes MkDocs, Cloudflare, and Cloudflare Zaraz.

For context, it's one of 39 launches on this exact stack.

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.
