Added May 6, 2026 · Last analysed May 6, 2026 · via Hacker News

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 6 May 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.

Rival AI looks production-ready overall, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and clean crawl signals. Worth fixing first: missing several security headers, tracking cookies set before any opt-in, and incomplete email security.

Launched on Hacker News on May 5, 2026. The site is hosted on Railway and served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered 3 months before launch. We've detected 15 technologies on this site, covering advertising, analytics, CDN, and CSS frameworks. The stack includes Next.js, React, and Tailwind CSS.

This score is based on structural patterns and is not definitive. Many legitimate sites may trigger signals, and AI-built sites may go undetected. It should be treated as an indicator, not a verdict.
