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 August 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Launched on Hacker News on August 13, 2026. The site is hosted on Google LLC in the United States, with a domain registered in 2017. Our crawler found 6 technologies on this site, covering comments, business email, transactional email, and identity. The stack includes Giscus, Google Search Console, and Keybase.
