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

Nutshot Simulator is partway there, with a thorough launch checklist and clean crawl signals. Visible gaps: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and no email security records.

Launched on Hacker News on July 16, 2026. The site is hosted on AWS S3 and served through AWS CloudFront, with a domain registered 1 week before launch. The crawl picked up 8 technologies on this site, covering CDN, cloud, developer tools, and DNS providers. The stack includes Amazon Web Services, AWS CloudFront, and AWS Route 53.

For context, it's on one of the most common stacks we track, shared by 343 launches.
