About Due or Die
Traditional task planners and productivity apps rely heavily on positive reinforcement, gamification, and rewards to keep users motivated. However, for many people, the core issue isn't a lack of celebration—it's a lack of consequences. Built by Brooklyn-based solo developer Marcus Taylor, Due or Die is a unique task planner designed specifically to flip that dynamic on its head.
Instead of rewarding you for staying on track, Due or Die introduces real consequences for procrastination and laziness. If you fail to complete your tasks on time, the app steps in to impose penalties, hurl insults, add deliberate friction, and intentionally become a nuisance until you get back on top of your business. It is the ultimate tough-love accountability tool for individuals who respond better to pressure and personality than gentle reminders.

About Alfred By Aligno
Alfred by Aligno acts as an 'AI Head of Product,' designed to streamline and demystify the product discovery and decision-making process. By integrating deeply into a company's existing tech stack—including customer calls, support tickets, Slack conversations, product analytics, and even the codebase—Alfred centralizes scattered data. When a product manager asks a question about what to build next, the AI sifts through these diverse sources to find concrete evidence rather than relying on gut feelings or opinion battles. Once the research phase is complete, Alfred evaluates the potential impact and technical feasibility of the proposed feature. It doesn't just stop at analysis; the tool goes a step further by recommending a strategic path forward and drafting a fully cited Product Requirements Document (PRD) or roadmap item for human review. This comprehensive approach aims to significantly reduce the time spent digging for context, allowing product teams to focus on execution and strategy.
Pros of Alfred By Aligno
- Integrates across multiple disparate data sources (Slack, support tickets, codebase) to provide comprehensive context.
- Reduces 'opinion battles' by grounding product decisions in actual customer data and past decisions.
- Automatically drafts cited PRDs and roadmap items, saving product managers significant documentation time.
Cons of Alfred By Aligno
- Highly dependent on the quality and organization of a company's internal data; messy data will lead to poor recommendations.
- Requires giving an AI tool deep access to highly sensitive internal communications, support tickets, and codebases, which may raise security concerns for some organizations.
