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

NicheCheck ships with the launch fundamentals in place, with complete legal pages, a complete set of security headers, and a thorough launch checklist. What needs work: incomplete email security.

Launched on Product Hunt on June 18, 2026. The site is hosted on Oracle Corporation in the United States, with a domain registered 5 months before launch. The crawl picked up 11 technologies on this site, covering analytics, auth, baas, and CSS frameworks. The stack includes Google Sign-In, Tailwind CSS, and Firebase.

For context, it's running the same core stack as 1,136 other launches and tighter on security headers than most Product Hunt launches.
