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

Independent Wire covers some of the launch checklist, with a thorough launch checklist. Worth fixing first: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and no robots.txt or sitemap.

Launched on Hacker News on June 29, 2026. The site is hosted on GitHub Pages and served through Fastly. Our crawler found 5 technologies on this site, covering CDN, DNS providers, email forwarding, and web fonts. The stack includes Cloudflare DNS, Cloudflare Email Routing, and Fastly.

It's also running the same core stack as 1,391 other launches.

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.
