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 13 April 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Cicadus looks production-ready overall, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and fast page loads. Worth fixing first: missing several security headers and incomplete email security.

Launched on Product Hunt on April 1, 2026. The site is hosted on Vercel, with a domain registered in 2025. We've detected 9 technologies on this site, covering CSS frameworks, DNS providers, business email, and frameworks. The stack includes Next.js, React, and Tailwind CSS.

It's running the same core stack as 10,671 other launches.
