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

Sandpiper ships with the launch fundamentals in place, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and clean crawl signals. What needs work: no Content-Security-Policy and no email security records.

Launched on Product Hunt on July 8, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered 8 weeks before launch. The crawl picked up 7 technologies on this site, covering seo, CDN, DNS providers, and meta-frameworks. The stack includes Astro, Bing Webmaster, and Cloudflare.

For context, it's running the same core stack as 228 other launches and tighter on security headers than most Product Hunt launches.
