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

PalExplorer scores highly overall, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and well-configured email security. Visible gaps: no Permissions-Policy.

Launched on Hacker News on July 12, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered 4 months before launch. The crawl picked up 15 technologies on this site, covering analytics, CDN, CSS frameworks, and developer tools. The stack includes Tailwind CSS, Brevo, and Cloudflare.

For context, it's on one of the most common stacks we track, shared by 5,694 launches and more locked down than the typical Hacker News launch.
