Embench

Embedding & Reranker Comparison Tool

Added August 12, 2026 · Last analysed August 12, 2026 · via Hacker News

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

Embench ships with the basics, with fast page loads and clean crawl signals. Worth fixing first: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and incomplete email security.

Launched on Hacker News on August 12, 2026. The site is hosted on Google Cloud, with a domain registered 6 months before launch. We've detected 10 technologies on this site, covering ui library, CSS frameworks, DNS providers, and business email. The stack includes Next.js, React, and Tailwind CSS.

It's running the same core stack as 119 other launches.
