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

PhotoBook.studio scores highly overall, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and well-configured email security. Visible gaps: missing several security headers.

Launched on Hacker News on August 13, 2026. The site is hosted on Cogent Communications in the United States, with a domain registered 2 weeks before launch. Our crawler found 7 technologies on this site, covering CSS frameworks, DNS providers, web fonts, and os. The stack includes Bootstrap, Google Fonts, and Google Search Console.

It's also on one of the most common stacks we track, shared by 503 launches.
