GlassBox

See every signal a website can read from your browser, and how identifiable it makes you. Runs entirely in your browser, nothing is sent.

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

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.

GlassBox is largely in shape, with well-configured email security and clean crawl signals. Worth fixing first: missing Permissions-Policy and Content-Security-Policy and incomplete legal pages.

Launched on Hacker News on August 24, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare. The crawl picked up 3 technologies on this site, covering analytics, CDN, and security. The stack includes Cloudflare, Cloudflare Web Analytics, and HSTS.

For context, it's tighter on security headers than most Hacker News launches.

This score is based on structural patterns and is not definitive. Many legitimate sites may trigger signals, and AI-built sites may go undetected. It should be treated as an indicator, not a verdict.
