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 28 April 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Retrocodex looks production-ready overall, with a thorough launch checklist, well-configured email security, and clean crawl signals. Worth fixing first: missing Permissions-Policy and Content-Security-Policy, incomplete legal pages, and tracking cookies set before any opt-in.

Launched on Product Hunt on April 28, 2026. The site is hosted on Google Cloud, with a domain registered 4 months before launch. We've detected 13 technologies on this site, covering business email, AI builders, analytics, and developer tools. The stack includes GoDaddy DNS, GoDaddy Email, and Google Analytics.

It's running the same core stack as 210 other launches and tighter on security headers than most Product Hunt launches.
