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 August 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Brickroad has the basics covered well, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and well-configured email security. Worth fixing first: missing several security headers and tracking cookies set before any opt-in.

Launched on Hacker News on August 11, 2026. The site is hosted on Vercel and served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered in 2025. Our crawler found 16 technologies on this site, covering analytics, security, ui library, and CDN. The stack includes Next.js, React, and Tailwind CSS.

It's also running the same core stack as 12,864 other launches.
