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

Ackd scores highly overall, with complete legal pages, a complete set of security headers, and a thorough launch checklist. Visible gaps: incomplete email security.

Launched on Hacker News on August 17, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered 3 months before launch. Our crawler found 9 technologies on this site, covering web fonts, CDN, CSS frameworks, and DNS providers. The stack includes Svelte, SvelteKit, and Tailwind CSS.

It's also one of 96 launches on this exact stack and more locked down than the typical Hacker News launch.
