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.

Topics, Not Feeds covers some of the launch checklist. What needs work: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and no sitemap.

Launched on Hacker News on July 3, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered in 2007. Our crawler found 8 technologies on this site, covering CDN, DNS providers, business email, and transactional email. The stack includes Cloudflare, Cloudflare Bot Management, and Cloudflare DNS.

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.
