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

Candidates.LOL still has work before launch. Visible gaps: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and no sitemap.

Launched on Product Hunt on August 22, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered the day of launch. The crawl picked up 9 technologies on this site, covering seo, analytics, auth, and CDN. The stack includes Auth.js, Next.js, and React.

For context, it's on one of the most common stacks we track, shared by 5,287 launches.
