Hey everyone,

I’m a solo founder building a small tool called StackPatrol.eu.

The idea is simple: you enter your website URL, and it scans the site for third-party scripts, cookies, trackers and external services. Then it shows which vendors your site appears to depend on, whether they are US-owned, Europe-based or unknown, and suggests European alternatives where relevant.

It’s not meant to be a legal GDPR compliance tool. More like a quick visibility tool for founders, small businesses and agencies who want to understand what their website is actually loading.

The MVP currently focuses on:

\- detecting third-party domains and scripts

\- identifying known vendors like Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, HubSpot, Intercom, Hotjar, Stripe, etc.

\- showing a simple US / EU / Unknown breakdown

\- suggesting European alternatives

\- making the result easy to understand without needing a technical or legal background

I’m curious:

Would this be useful for other solo founders, especially those building for European users?

And if you ran a scan on your own site, what would you want the report to show?

Hi everyone,

I’m building StackPatrol, a small Micro SaaS tool for mapping the third-party services a website depends on.

It loads a public URL in headless Chromium, records third-party network requests and cookies, then matches domains against a curated vendor directory. The goal is to make it easier for website owners, agencies and privacy consultants to answer a simple question:

“What external services does this site actually load?”

Right now it can:

- scan the front page plus one internal page

- detect third-party requests and cookies

- match domains against 469 known vendors

- classify vendors by ownership region, such as EU, US, UK, Switzerland, China, Global or Unknown

- suggest European or independent alternatives where possible

- generate an experimental dependency score

Try it here:

https://stackpatrol.eu

It is still early and free to use. I’m not positioning it as a GDPR compliance tool or legal audit, more like a fast technical inventory/reporting tool.

I’d love feedback from other builders:

1. Would you position this toward agencies, privacy consultants, or website owners?

2. Would you charge for monitoring/alerts, PDF reports, CSV export, or white-label client reports?

3. Is the “score” useful, or would you keep it purely factual?

4. What would make this worth paying for?

Happy to hear honest criticism.
