HCKR NIGHT

A dark-mode, keyboard-first reader for Hacker News. Terminal aesthetic. Built for the people who actually read HN.

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 18 April 2026; the live site may have changed since.

HCKR NIGHT is partway there, with a thorough launch checklist, fast page loads, and clean crawl signals. Visible gaps: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and incomplete email security.

Launched on Product Hunt on April 18, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered in 2025. The crawl picked up 9 technologies on this site, covering analytics, CDN, data api, and developer tools. The stack includes Cloudflare, Cloudflare DNS, and Cloudflare Web Analytics.

This score is based on structural patterns and is not definitive. Many legitimate sites may trigger signals, and AI-built sites may go undetected. It should be treated as an indicator, not a verdict.
