Work ethic: Do you think a 4-day work week will bring efficiency?

I just read that Poland wants to launch a pilot project of a 4-day work week from January 2026 (although a 4-hour work week would sound better).

I want to ask if any of you in your company have tried this concept of a shorter work week, and how it has affected the results of your employees and the company?

How we hit top #1 on Product Hunt— and what I’d change next time to achieve way better results

Hi PH community,

My team and I just launched Byterover a self-improving memory layer for coding agents on AI IDEs like Cursor, Windsurf, and more.

We ve been sitting at #1 for the past 18 hours since launch. Super grateful but I also think we could ve done a lot better with better prep.

Two Weeks Since Launch — What We've Learned and Improved

Hey everyone!

It s been two weeks since we launched on Product Hunt, and we just wanted to pause for a moment and say thank you. The support and feedback from this community have been incredibly motivating. Many of you signed up, tested the app, and even went the extra mile to share video reviews and bug reports. We truly appreciate it.

Remote workers, how do you stay productive while being isolated?

The biggest boom in remote work was during the COVID pandemic, but corporations have started to call employees back into their offices, either because of prepaid office space or better control over employees' work.

Some have stuck with the remote model until now, e.g. Spotify.

Startups Are Ditching Waitlists. Smart Move or Missed Opportunity?

Hello PHers :)

I ve noticed a growing trend: more and more early-stage startups are skipping the classic "waitlist" launch and going straight to open access. Some argue it's more authentic and helps get traction faster. Others say waitlists build FOMO, gather valuable user data, and give time to polish the product.

Curious what the community thinks.
