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 June 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Kickbacks.ai covers some of the launch checklist, with complete legal pages. Visible gaps: missing Permissions-Policy and Content-Security-Policy, no robots.txt or sitemap, and incomplete email security.

Launched on Hacker News on June 12, 2026. The site is hosted on Google LLC in the United States, with a domain registered 3 weeks before launch. Our crawler found 10 technologies on this site, covering business email, analytics, DNS providers, and transactional email. The stack includes GoDaddy DNS, GoDaddy Email, and Google Cloud.

Notably, it's one of 52 launches on this exact stack and more locked down than the typical Hacker News launch.
