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

Scout Niches looks production-ready overall, with a thorough launch checklist and clean crawl signals. Main gaps: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and tracking cookies set before any opt-in.

Launched on Product Hunt on August 20, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered 2 weeks before launch. We've detected 5 technologies on this site, covering analytics, CDN, DNS providers, and security. The stack includes Cloudflare, Cloudflare DNS, and Google Analytics.
