SpaceX’s IPO on Friday allows the public to buy shares of the combined rocket, AI, and social media company for the first time, and is raising enough money to likely make Elon Musk the first trillionaire. He’ll have more wealth, on paper at least, than the economies of nations like Ireland, Sweden, or his home […]
Where's the Trump phone? We're going to keep talking about it every week. We've reached out, as usual, to ask about the Trump phone's whereabouts. We don't have the phones we preordered yet, but this week included an unexpected in-person encounter with the T1. You see a lot of interesting phones when you're among tech […]
The SpaceX IPO has boosted Musk's paper wealth to more than $1,000,000,000,000 at a time when he is more hated -- and powerful -- than ever.
The company made its heavily-anticipated debut on Friday, trading higher than its initial $135 IPO price.

Hey all, I built StackScope, a crawler/catalogue that looks at new product launches and shows what they were built with.
It watches launches from Product Hunt, Show HN, and PeerPush, then crawls the public site behind each one. The goal is to show what people actually launched with: hosting, frameworks, analytics, DNS, security headers, legal pages, AI-builder signals, and other public clues.
I started building it because most stack-detection sites look at the web as a whole. I was more interested in the current indie launch scene: what people are choosing right now, at the point they first put something in public.
A few implementation details: it runs on .NET, uses Playwright for rendered pages, and has a first-party fingerprint catalogue rather than one copied from Wappalyzer/etc. robots.txt is honoured, and the bot identifies itself.
Frustratingly, I am still waiting for verified bot status from Cloudflare and currently that knocks out about 10% of all sites.
There is also a private readiness check: paste a URL, get the same style of report, fix things, and recrawl. No account or email needed.
I'd be interested in feedback on the usefulness of this, the methodology, and any obvious false positives.
Jonathan.

I haven't found a way to delete all chats in bulk like you can on Chatgpt. With Claude, you have to scroll to the bottom, select everything, and delete. The problem is, if you have a lot of chats, it becomes impossible. I created this script. It does it alone. I hope it helps someone.
(conversations disappear from the UI slowly, over several minutes, and remember to keep the tab open until the console shows "Finished", refreshing away from the page can stop the deletion process.)
