Working from home has a ton of traps, like:

• Family members think that just because you re home, you re always available and need to drop everything for them.

• Your workday can stretch across the entire day, and sometimes you don t even know when to stop.

• You start missing real social contact.

• But it also has some huge upsides:

• You save time and money on commuting.

• You can sleep in a little longer.

• You get to schedule your day exactly how it suits you.

Hello friends, and welcome back to the changelog. The devs have been running on a balanced diet of espresso shots and questionable amounts of energy drinks, which means you guessed it: fresh updates are here. From saying goodbye to Coming Soon, to giving you a shiny red self-destruct button, to sprucing up Alternatives, and a shiny new footer, we ve packed a lot into this round.

Coming Soon Forum Threads

The old Coming Soon pages have officially retired (and you lot noticed). From now on, every new product you create gets its own forum thread. It is your place to share updates, drop teasers, or just shout into the void while you wait for launch day. People can still follow from your forum page to get notified when you go live, but now you can actually start the conversation early.

You re probably familiar with the Forbes 30 Under 30 selection.

We could put together something like that for ourselves here at Product Hunt.

Do you follow any founders you find successful and inspiring?

Hey Product Hunt! I'm Waseem Daher, co-founder of Pilot, the largest startup-focused accounting company in the US. I'm a 3x founder (my previous ventures were acquired by Oracle and Dropbox) who's raised over $120M from Sequoia, Stripe, Jeff Bezos, and more.

Today we're releasing our 2025 Founder Salary Report with data from 1,800+ founders, and the findings might surprise you:

• Founder salaries dropped 43% in the past year

• AI founders are bucking the trend (paying themselves more)

• Bootstrapped companies jumped 57%

• Only 5.4% of founders pay themselves nothing (down from 9% last year)

We founders talk endlessly about burn rates, runway, and valuations but no one talks about what they pay themselves. It's time to change that.

Lately there s been a growing wave of skepticism around VCs, Y Combinator, and accelerators in general. And to be fair: I get it.

We now live in an age where almost everything you need to learn can be found online. The gatekeepers are fewer, the knowledge is everywhere, and solo builders have never been more empowered.

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.

At least for me, when I buy something, I consider:

1. price in relation to time, how long the product will serve me

2. investment whether buying the product will generate money for me

3. benefit solving a problem, saving time, fulfilling a need
