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 7 July 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Dedtxt is partway there, with a thorough launch checklist, fast page loads, and clean crawl signals. Worth fixing first: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and incomplete email security.

Launched on Hacker News on July 7, 2026. The site is hosted on GitHub Pages and served through Fastly, with a domain registered 7 weeks before launch. The crawl picked up 4 technologies on this site, covering CDN, DNS providers, email forwarding, and hosting. The stack includes Fastly, GitHub Pages, and Namecheap DNS.

For context, it's running the same core stack as 1,547 other launches.

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.
