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 20 July 2026; the live site may have changed since.
Visual-HN is partway there, with a thorough launch checklist. Main gaps: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and no sitemap.
Launched on Hacker News on July 20, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered 6 months before launch. The crawl picked up 6 technologies on this site, covering analytics, CDN, developer tools, and protocol. The stack includes Cloudflare, Cloudflare Bot Management, and Cloudflare Web Analytics.
