VandalAds

VandalAds is an absurd advertising format based on a simple insight: you forget ads, but you remember crimes.

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

VandalAds still has work before launch. Worth fixing first: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and no robots.txt.

Launched on Product Hunt on April 8, 2026. The site is hosted on DigitalOcean in the United States, with a domain registered in 2020. The crawl picked up 6 technologies on this site, covering analytics, DNS providers, business email, and web fonts. The stack includes Apache, DigitalOcean DNS, and Google Analytics.
