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 13 July 2026; the live site may have changed since.

PayStubHQ scores highly overall, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and well-configured email security. Main gaps: no Content-Security-Policy.

Launched on PeerPush on July 13, 2026. The site is served through Cloudflare, with a domain registered 4 weeks before launch. The crawl picked up 16 technologies on this site, covering analytics, directory, CDN, and CSS frameworks. The stack includes Next.js, React, and Tailwind CSS.

For context, it's on one of the most common stacks we track, shared by 3,694 launches and more locked down than the typical PeerPush launch.
