Pitch Ponies
Comic-book storyboard exposing how VC term sheets, board seats, dilution rounds, and misaligned incentives trap founders. Real data, dark humour, and a clear-eyed alternative.
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 29 June 2026; the live site may have changed since.
Pitch Ponies has the basics covered well, with a thorough launch checklist, well-configured email security, and clean crawl signals. What needs work: missing Permissions-Policy and Content-Security-Policy, incomplete legal pages, and tracking cookies set before any opt-in.
Launched on Hacker News on June 28, 2026. The site is hosted on Amazon.com in the United States, with a domain registered 4 months before launch. Our crawler found 8 technologies on this site, covering analytics, CSS frameworks, DNS providers, and business email. The stack includes Tailwind CSS, Amazon SES, and AWS Route 53.
Notably, it's running the same core stack as 5,171 other launches and tighter on security headers than most Hacker News launches.
