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

Sylph is largely in shape, with clean crawl signals. Main gaps: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and tracking cookies set before any opt-in.

Launched on Hacker News on July 2, 2026. The site is hosted on Vercel, with a domain registered 3 months before launch. The crawl picked up 10 technologies on this site, covering analytics, DNS providers, email forwarding, and frameworks. The stack includes Next.js, React, and Google Search Console.

For context, it's on one of the most common stacks we track, shared by 1,927 launches.
