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 6 May 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Mastodon looks production-ready overall, with a thorough launch checklist and well-configured email security. What needs work: no Permissions-Policy, incomplete legal pages, and no sitemap.

Launched on Hacker News on May 6, 2026. The site is served through Fastly, with a domain registered in 2016. We've detected 9 technologies on this site, covering CDN, chat widgets, developer tools, and DNS providers. The stack includes Exoscale DNS, Fastly, and Google Workspace.

It's tighter on security headers than most Hacker News launches.
