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

World Pop covers some of the launch checklist, with a thorough launch checklist and fast page loads. Worth fixing first: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and no sitemap.

Launched on Hacker News on August 16, 2026. The site is hosted on Hetzner Online GmbH in Germany, with a domain registered in 2017. Our crawler found 7 technologies on this site, covering DNS providers, email forwarding, web fonts, and javascript library. The stack includes Cloudflare DNS, EForw, and Google Fonts.
