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

Geopolitech has the basics covered well, with a thorough launch checklist and clean crawl signals. Worth fixing first: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and tracking cookies set before any opt-in.

Launched on Product Hunt on August 21, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered in 2021. Our crawler found 22 technologies on this site, covering analytics, seo, business email, and javascript library. The stack includes Tailwind CSS, Cloudflare, and Cloudflare Bot Management.

It's also running the same core stack as 7,212 other launches.
