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

Nixmac is partway there, with a thorough launch checklist. Visible gaps: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and no sitemap.

Launched on Product Hunt on July 6, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered 7 months before launch. The crawl picked up 14 technologies on this site, covering javascript library, ui library, analytics, and CDN. The stack includes Tailwind CSS, TanStack Start, and Cloudflare.

For context, it's on one of the most common stacks we track, shared by 194 launches.
