Own this Launch?

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

Isthistechdead 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 4, 2026. The site is hosted on GitHub Pages and served through Fastly, with a domain registered in 2025. Our crawler found 9 technologies on this site, covering analytics, CDN, DNS providers, and business email. The stack includes Bluesky, Fastly, and GitHub Pages.

It's also on one of the most common stacks we track, shared by 1,486 launches.
