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 14 April 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Costile is partway there, with a thorough launch checklist. Worth fixing first: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and no sitemap.

Launched on Hacker News on April 14, 2026. The site is hosted on Railway and served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered 1 day before launch. The crawl picked up 9 technologies on this site, covering DNS providers, backend framework, CDN, and email forwarding. The stack includes Cloudflare, Cloudflare DNS, and Express.

For context, it's running the same core stack as 484 other launches.
