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

ChalkySticks scores highly overall, with complete legal pages and a thorough launch checklist. Visible gaps: missing Permissions-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, no sitemap, and tracking cookies set before any opt-in.

Launched on Product Hunt on July 10, 2026. The site is hosted on Amazon.com in the United States, with a domain registered in 2013. The crawl picked up 13 technologies on this site, covering mobile, seo, analytics, and DNS providers. The stack includes Ably, Apple App Store, and Google Analytics.

For context, it's more locked down than the typical Product Hunt launch.
