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

Tesserae looks production-ready overall, with a thorough launch checklist, fast page loads, and clean crawl signals. Main gaps: no Strict-Transport-Security, incomplete legal pages, and tracking cookies set before any opt-in.

Launched on Hacker News on June 30, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered 1 week before launch. We've detected 7 technologies on this site, covering analytics, CDN, DNS providers, and business email. The stack includes Astro, Cloudflare, and Cloudflare DNS.

It's on one of the most common stacks we track, shared by 186 launches and more locked down than the typical Hacker News launch.
