Added August 4, 2026 · Last analysed August 22, 2026 · via StackScope Discovery · also on Product Hunt

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 22 August 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.

PdfRecast - Private PDF Editor with Local Browser Processing is largely in shape, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and clean crawl signals. Main gaps: missing several security headers, tracking cookies set before any opt-in, and incomplete email security.

The site is hosted on DigitalOcean in the United States, with a domain registered 1 week before launch. The crawl picked up 13 technologies on this site, covering javascript library, advertising, analytics, and baas. The stack includes Express, Firebase, and Google Ads.

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.
