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 April 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Nous is partway there, with a thorough launch checklist, well-configured email security, and fast page loads. Main gaps: missing Permissions-Policy and Content-Security-Policy, incomplete legal pages, and no sitemap.

Launched on Hacker News on April 14, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare. The crawl picked up 7 technologies on this site, covering analytics, CDN, DNS providers, and email forwarding. The stack includes Cloudflare, Cloudflare DNS, and Cloudflare Email Routing.

For context, it's more locked down than the typical Hacker News launch.
