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 19 August 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Metapodcast is largely in shape, with a thorough launch checklist and clean crawl signals. What needs work: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and tracking cookies set before any opt-in.

Launched on Hacker News on August 19, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered in 2025. The crawl picked up 16 technologies on this site, covering analytics, auth, CDN, and CSS frameworks. The stack includes Auth.js, Next.js, and React.

For context, it's running the same core stack as 5,168 other launches.
