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

Timberreader looks production-ready overall, with fast page loads and clean crawl signals. Worth fixing first: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and incomplete email security.

Launched on Hacker News on August 26, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered 10 weeks before launch. We've detected 4 technologies on this site, covering CDN, DNS providers, email forwarding, and web fonts. The stack includes Cloudflare, Google Fonts, and ImprovMX.
