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

Earth-clock 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 15, 2026. The site is hosted on Hetzner Online GmbH in Germany. Our crawler found 3 technologies on this site, covering developer tools, javascript library, and servers. The stack includes nginx, Three.js, and Vite.
