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 12 July 2026; the live site may have changed since.

MakeTheBoard ships with the launch fundamentals in place, with complete legal pages, a complete set of security headers, and a thorough launch checklist. Worth fixing first: tracking cookies set before any opt-in and incomplete email security.

Launched on Product Hunt on July 12, 2026. The site is hosted on DigitalOcean in the United States, with a domain registered in 2022. The crawl picked up 18 technologies on this site, covering analytics, transactional email, advertising, and auth. The stack includes Google Sign-In, Next.js, and React.

For context, it's running the same core stack as 3,643 other launches and tighter on security headers than most Product Hunt launches.
