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

LinkShft is largely in shape, with complete legal pages, a thorough launch checklist, and clean crawl signals. What needs work: missing several security headers, tracking cookies set before any opt-in, and incomplete email security.

Launched on Product Hunt on August 14, 2026. The site is hosted on Vercel, with a domain registered 1 week before launch. The crawl picked up 13 technologies on this site, covering analytics, CSS frameworks, DNS providers, and email forwarding. The stack includes Next.js, React, and Tailwind CSS.

For context, it's running the same core stack as 13,131 other launches.
