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 17 June 2026; the live site may have changed since.

TrendHawk is largely in shape, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and well-configured email security. Worth fixing first: missing several security headers, no robots.txt or sitemap, and tracking cookies set before any opt-in.

Launched on Hacker News on June 17, 2026. The site is hosted on Cloudflare in the United States, with a domain registered in 2010. The crawl picked up 12 technologies on this site, covering security, analytics, CDN, and cloud. The stack includes Express, Amazon Web Services, and Cloudflare.

For context, it's running the same core stack as 145 other launches.
