Own this Launch?

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

Bot or Not is early-stage. What needs work: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and no robots.txt or sitemap.

Launched on Hacker News on June 4, 2026. The site is hosted on Amazon.com in the United States. We've detected 4 technologies on this site, covering frameworks, hosting, meta-frameworks, and security. The stack includes Next.js, React, and HSTS.

It's running the same core stack as 1,270 other launches.
