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

Scottrlarson is partway there, with a thorough launch checklist. Visible gaps: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and no robots.txt.

Launched on Hacker News on July 6, 2026. The site is hosted on Netlify, with a domain registered in 2013. The crawl picked up 19 technologies on this site, covering javascript library, security, analytics, and CSS frameworks. The stack includes Bootstrap, Hugo, and Brevo.

For context, it's one of just 2 launches we've crawled on this exact stack.
