Web App Launch Readiness Checker

An automated audit tool that checks indie web apps for common launch-readiness issues: security headers, privacy policies, mobile responsiveness, accessibility, SEO metadata, and trust signals. One-time or recurring scan service.

With indie hacker output accelerating thanks to AI-assisted coding, more non-technical founders are shipping apps without knowing what "done" actually means — creating real demand for a checklist-as-a-service. Lighthouse, webhint, and Security Headers cover pieces of this, but nothing packages the full pre-launch audit (legal, trust signals, SEO, accessibility) into a single founder-friendly report. The $1k–5k/mo band is realistic for a one-time scan priced at $29–49, but requires volume, and a recurring subscription angle is the only path to predictable revenue. The biggest risk is that the core checks are commoditized and a motivated user can replicate 80% of this with free tools in an afternoon, making it hard to justify payment without strong positioning around the report's presentation and actionability.
