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

Karo covers some of the launch checklist, with fast page loads and clean crawl signals. Worth fixing first: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and no email security records.

Launched on Hacker News on August 27, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered 4 months before launch. Our crawler found 4 technologies on this site, covering CDN, DNS providers, meta-frameworks, and social embeds. The stack includes Astro, Bluesky, and Cloudflare.

It's also running the same core stack as 516 other launches.
