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 24 April 2026; the live site may have changed since.
Hacker News AI Detector is largely in shape, with a thorough launch checklist and clean crawl signals. Main gaps: no Content-Security-Policy, incomplete legal pages, and incomplete email security.
Launched on Product Hunt on April 24, 2026. The site is hosted on Vercel, with a domain registered in 2024. The crawl picked up 10 technologies on this site, covering seo, ai service, analytics, and CSS frameworks. The stack includes Astro, Tailwind CSS, and Apple Business Connect.
For context, it's on one of the most common stacks we track, shared by 139 launches and more locked down than the typical Product Hunt launch.

Readiness Breakdown How?
Vibe Score Breakdown How?

This score is based on structural patterns and is not definitive. Many legitimate sites may trigger signals, and AI-built sites may go undetected. It should be treated as an indicator, not a verdict.
