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 July 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Rubber Duck is missing several launch fundamentals. Visible gaps: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and no robots.txt or sitemap.

Launched on Hacker News on July 9, 2026. The site is hosted on Amazon.com in the United States, with a domain registered in 2018. Our crawler found 3 technologies on this site, covering analytics, developer tools, and servers. The stack includes Caddy, GoatCounter, and Vite.
