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 9 May 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.

plaintext.gg is partway there, with a thorough launch checklist and fast page loads. What needs work: missing Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, incomplete legal pages, and no robots.txt or sitemap.

Launched on Product Hunt on May 9, 2026. The site is hosted on HETZNER-AS in Germany. The crawl picked up 4 technologies on this site, covering CSS frameworks, DNS providers, protocol, and servers. The stack includes Tailwind CSS, Bunny CDN DNS, and HTTP/3.
