Show HN: StackScope – I crawled over 40k indie launches to see what they ship

What's your response header content? Reads like it's being cf-mitigated.
Edit: loosened a cf rule, should be good now.

Nice one.
I've been doing the same bit wider scope, for the whole Crux list, pruned to apex domains, and looking for CMS signals - how's your throughput?
I'm not doing any headless browser stuff, or many requests, so hyper optimised for speed.
I do grab robots.txt - didn't really see much in llms.txt or humans.txt in the wild, does yours?

Ohh Cloudflare verified bot status, interesting I'll check that out.
I'm seeing about 6.6% block rate, but that does climb over time.

That looks very impressive! And really insightful as well. And to my surprise, I even found my startup on the landing page :D (possibly due to fresh HN post here as well).
I will have a thorough look on the insights later, as there might either be some small false positives, or my projects still needs some grunt work :).
So from my perspective, being part of the check, I find it extremely useful.

Let me know if anything is detected wrong!

Alright, so I went through all the potential issues and already implemented the changes where applicable :).
My app is Tekyous (didn't go through this option to claim the launch): https://stackscope.dev/launch/xsa4cjwn/tekyous
And turns out that actually there were almost no false-positives here at all. Some of the flagged things were rather minor, like missing files that are not really necessary in my case, or too long meta descriptions, but technically all is flagged correctly even if severity is low.
But on the other hand, it has also correctly flagged my tracking settings or overly strict rules for AI crawlers, so this were genuinely useful for me to find out now.
And the only real false-positive is actually a recognised AI builder signature for Bolt.new - not sure where that one comes from, as Bolt.new was not used here. I've only used Claude Code, mostly with Anthropic + GLM by Z.AI models.
Hope that feedback helps you, as I have defnitely found it helpful on my end. Thanks!

This was interesting to look at for my own launch https://stackscope.dev/launch/xisjc21x/elmo
I'm a little surprised you can't see the analysis for StackScope itself!
Also, it'd be interesting to see the trend of vibe score over time.

I'm trying but it's getting blocked by Cloudflare and ending up getting broken, ha!
I will include a vibe score trend in the next blog post.

Nice one, looks interesting. I didn't knew that Vercel was so far ahead on hosting. People don't usually use Cloudflare Pages for hosting? Or it doesn't enter in that metric? https://stackscope.dev/trends/2026/06
Overall this looks solid

Cloudflare Pages get hidden behind the CF CDN, so are included in the CDN figure.

right, makes sense

Very cool. I will give it a shot

One extension, beyond stack: market category/domain/application - or any combo that tells me what the product does.
Fab project otherwise!

Cool tool, I'm also surprised by how different the startup stacks are from the general Internet.
For HSTS, don't forget to check the preload list. Domains under .dev are all preloaded, for example, so they don't need to set the header for HSTS to apply.

Interesting but Laravel usage seems so low. As Laravel uses React or Vue etc I feel like a site could be easily classified as React when it’s Laravel running the show.

Makes me sad how Nextjs has become the default for so many startups…

Unfortunately the chances are that it would become cyclic with the increasing use of LLMs to generate code

"Verified bot" for cloudflare sounds like "Acceptable ad" for adblock.
