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 16 July 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Howdousound covers some of the launch checklist, with a thorough launch checklist, fast page loads, and clean crawl signals. Worth fixing first: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and no email security records.

Launched on Hacker News on July 16, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered the day of launch. Our crawler found 3 technologies on this site, covering analytics, CDN, and DNS providers. The stack includes Cloudflare, Cloudflare DNS, and Plausible.

SignalPoints
AI writing signals +3

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.
