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

How much of Hacker News is AI? is largely in shape, with a thorough launch checklist and clean crawl signals. Visible gaps: no Strict-Transport-Security, incomplete legal pages, and no email security records.

Launched on Hacker News on August 26, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered the day of launch. The crawl picked up 6 technologies on this site, covering baas, CDN, data api, and DNS providers. The stack includes Svelte, SvelteKit, and Cloudflare.

For context, it's one of 87 launches on this exact stack and more locked down than the typical Hacker News launch.
