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

USBHawk still has work before launch. What needs work: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and no robots.txt or sitemap.

Launched on Hacker News on August 23, 2026. The site is hosted on GitHub Pages and served through Fastly, with a domain registered 2 days before launch. The crawl picked up 3 technologies on this site, covering CDN, DNS providers, and hosting. The stack includes Fastly, GitHub Pages, and Porkbun DNS.

For context, it's running the same core stack as 2,434 other launches.
