StackScope records what new websites are built with, the week they launch. Most we find ourselves, by watching public internet infrastructure for brand-new sites; the rest come from Product Hunt, Hacker News and PeerPush. We crawled this one for its tech stack and scored it for launch readiness: DNS, security headers, SEO basics. This page is what we saw on 18 June 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Every technology below links to its own page: which other new sites launched with it. Vendors and agencies watch those pages with Stackdar and hear about new adopters the week they ship, from £15 a month.

Zedmail scores highly overall, with complete legal pages, well-configured email security, and clean crawl signals. Main gaps: no Permissions-Policy.

Launched on Hacker News on June 18, 2026. The site is hosted on OVH SAS in Canada. Our crawler found 8 technologies on this site, covering servers, analytics, DNS providers, and os. The stack includes Apache, Google Search Console, and Hostinger DNS.

It's also more locked down than the typical Hacker News launch.
