Hi Product Hunt! Great to be back! 🗓 5-day weeks are just a habit of history People are talking increasingly more about mental health, avoiding burnout, and work-life balance. Remote work was a niche thing in tech for quite some time until COVID acted as a catalyst. But we never wanted just to work from anywhere. It was always about a more flexible lifestyle. And 4-day weeks could be the next important step. The tech sector will be probably leading the way, just as it did with remote work. 🧑‍💻 Making a Google Sheets: https://twitter.com/bemicrofound... I wanted to see how many tech companies I could find who are already advertising 4-day weeks on their career pages. So I started to build a list on Google Sheets and so far I've found 42 companies. 🛠 Building a frontend: https://twitter.com/bemicrofound... Google Sheets is nice, but I needed a proper front end. I installed a fresh Laravel (my favorite!) and made an html/css draft. I never design in Figma, I like web browsers as my canvas directly. 🔗 Registering a domain: https://twitter.com/bemicrofound... First, I wanted 4dayremote.com but it was taken. I also considered 4daysok.com but that's too similar to remoteok.com I went with 4daytech.com (registered via NameCheap). 💾 Setting up database: https://twitter.com/bemicrofound... I wanted to keep everything as simple as possible as I don't know if I will be working on the project in the future. It depends if it gets some traction or not. I discovered that Google Sheets has an API where I can just fetch data from a URL – perfect, I could use my already existing Google Sheet as a database. 🧰 Some technical work: https://twitter.com/bemicrofound... Before getting the site up on the web, I had to do some technical stuff, like changing DNS records, creating a new site on my Digital Ocean server, and adding Plausible for gathering statistics. 🚀 Launch: https://twitter.com/bemicrofound... It didn't take much time and this was important to me. I can't be sure if I can make some money with 4daytech.com so I wanted to start with something super simple. I spent some time in the morning at home and now wrote the blog post in a nearby park. Hope you like it! Would be interesting to hear what you think about 4-day week trend?

It's great to see the growing trend towards a more flexible lifestyle with a focus on mental health and work-life balance. It's exciting to see where this trend towards shorter workweeks will go, especially in the tech sector.

Interesting approach with new trends around 4 days week. What countries do you target first ?
