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 11 July 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Web Design Awards has the basics covered well, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and clean crawl signals. Worth fixing first: missing several security headers and incomplete email security.

Launched on Product Hunt on July 11, 2026. The site is hosted on Vercel. Our crawler found 17 technologies on this site, covering analytics, directory, advertising, and consent tooling. The stack includes Google, Next.js, and React.

It's also running the same core stack as 9,991 other launches.
