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 23 June 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Etymon scores well across the board, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and clean crawl signals. Main gaps: missing several security headers and no email security records.

Launched on Hacker News on June 23, 2026. The site is hosted on Cloudflare in the United States, with a domain registered 6 weeks before launch. The crawl picked up 16 technologies on this site, covering security, seo, analytics, and backend framework. The stack includes Amazon Web Services, Cloudflare, and Cloudflare Bot Management.
