StackScope records what new websites are built with, the week they launch. Most we find ourselves, by watching public internet infrastructure for brand-new sites; the rest come from Product Hunt, Hacker News and PeerPush. We crawled this one for its tech stack and scored it for launch readiness: DNS, security headers, SEO basics. This page is what we saw on 12 April 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Every technology below links to its own page: which other new sites launched with it. Vendors and agencies watch those pages with Stackdar and hear about new adopters the week they ship, from £15 a month.

Duck-duck-duck is missing several launch fundamentals. Visible gaps: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and no robots.txt or sitemap.

Launched on Hacker News on April 1, 2026. The site is served through Fastly, with a domain registered in 1993. Our crawler found 6 technologies on this site, covering CDN, consent tooling, CSS frameworks, and meta-frameworks. The stack includes Astro, Fides, and Tailwind CSS.

It's also on one of the most common stacks we track, shared by 840 launches.
