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

Lutefish scores highly overall, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and well-configured email security. Visible gaps: missing Referrer-Policy and Permissions-Policy and tracking cookies set before any opt-in.

Launched on Hacker News on August 20, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered in 2023. The crawl picked up 33 technologies on this site, covering advertising, shopify app, analytics, and ecommerce. The stack includes Joinground, Seal Subscriptions, and Shopify.

For context, it's one of only 7 launches we've crawled running Joinground and more locked down than the typical Hacker News launch.
