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 8 May 2026; the live site may have changed since.

The Stack Newsletter is largely in shape, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and clean crawl signals. What needs work: missing several security headers, tracking cookies set before any opt-in, and incomplete email security.

Launched on PeerPush on May 8, 2026. The site is hosted on Heroku and served through Cloudflare. The crawl picked up 17 technologies on this site, covering email security, security, advertising, and analytics. The stack includes Tailwind CSS, Beehiiv, and Birdie.

For context, it's on a stack we've seen on only 25 launches.
