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 August 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Cloister is partway there, with complete legal pages and a thorough launch checklist. Main gaps: missing several security headers, no robots.txt or sitemap, and incomplete email security.

Launched on Product Hunt on August 7, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered 2 weeks before launch. The crawl picked up 4 technologies on this site, covering CDN, DNS providers, email forwarding, and protocol. The stack includes Cloudflare, Cloudflare DNS, and Cloudflare Email Routing.
