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 18 June 2026; the live site may have changed since.

FirmTide is largely in shape, with a thorough launch checklist and clean crawl signals. What needs work: missing several security headers, placeholder text in the legal pages, and incomplete email security.

Launched on Product Hunt on June 18, 2026. The site is hosted on Cloudflare in the United States, with a domain registered 5 weeks before launch. The crawl picked up 9 technologies on this site, covering transactional email, build tooling, CDN, and CSS frameworks. The stack includes Rails, Tailwind CSS, and Vite.

For context, it's one of 44 launches on this exact stack.
