Added September 3, 2026 · Last analysed September 3, 2026 · via Hacker News

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 3 September 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.

Smolknight is early-stage. Visible gaps: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and no robots.txt or sitemap.

Launched on Hacker News on September 3, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered in 2022. We've detected 5 technologies on this site, covering analytics, CDN, javascript library, and security. The stack includes Cloudflare, Cloudflare Bot Management, and Contentsquare.
