Skinoftheyear

US$1 a tile. One public image project, built for one iPhone from many small contributions.

Added August 28, 2026 · Last analysed August 28, 2026 · via Hacker News

StackScope records what new websites are built with, the week they launch. Most we find ourselves, by watching public internet infrastructure for brand-new sites; the rest come from Product Hunt, Hacker News and PeerPush. We crawled this one for its tech stack and scored it for launch readiness: DNS, security headers, SEO basics. This page is what we saw on 28 August 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Every technology below links to its own page: which other new sites launched with it. Vendors and agencies watch those pages with Stackdar and hear about new adopters the week they ship, from £15 a month.

Skinoftheyear ships with the launch fundamentals in place, with complete legal pages, a complete set of security headers, and a thorough launch checklist. Worth fixing first: incomplete email security.

Launched on Hacker News on August 28, 2026. The site is hosted on Vercel, with a domain registered the day of launch. We've detected 12 technologies on this site, covering analytics, DNS providers, business email, and email forwarding. The stack includes Next.js, React, and Datafast.

It's running the same core stack as 3,298 other launches and tighter on security headers than most Hacker News launches.
