Ladder

Anyone can join. The bid decides the order. The board shows the story.

Added August 24, 2026 · Last analysed August 24, 2026 · via

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 24 August 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Ladder ships with the basics, with a thorough launch checklist, well-configured email security, and clean crawl signals. Visible gaps: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and tracking cookies set before any opt-in.

Launched on Product Hunt on August 24, 2026. The site is hosted on Vercel, with a domain registered 9 months before launch. We've detected 9 technologies on this site, covering ui library, analytics, CSS frameworks, and frameworks. The stack includes Next.js, React, and Tailwind CSS.

It's on one of the most common stacks we track, shared by 13,908 launches.
