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 14 August 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Forkcade is partway there, 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 August 14, 2026. The site is hosted on Amazon.com in the United States, with a domain registered the day of launch. The crawl picked up 10 technologies on this site, covering analytics, auth, CSS frameworks, and DNS providers. The stack includes Auth.js, Next.js, and React.

For context, it's on one of the most common stacks we track, shared by 4,979 launches.

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.
