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

NS1 is largely in shape, with a thorough launch checklist, well-configured email security, and clean crawl signals. Worth fixing first: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and tracking cookies set before any opt-in.

Launched on Product Hunt on August 14, 2026. The site is hosted on Vercel and served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered in 2021. The crawl picked up 21 technologies on this site, covering advertising, analytics, business email, and security. The stack includes Next.js, React, and Cloudflare.

For context, it's running the same core stack as 2,932 other launches.
