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

PilotCue is largely in shape, with a thorough launch checklist, well-configured email security, and clean crawl signals. Worth fixing first: missing several security headers, placeholder text in the legal pages, and tracking cookies set before any opt-in.

Launched on Product Hunt on August 9, 2026. The site is hosted on Vercel, with a domain registered 6 weeks before launch. The crawl picked up 14 technologies on this site, covering analytics, javascript library, CSS frameworks, and DNS providers. The stack includes Next.js, React, and Tailwind CSS.

For context, it's running the same core stack as 12,657 other launches.
