LEXCEPTIO/mike
An AGPL-flagged fork of Mike from LEXCEPTIO, with quiet groundwork rather than a public product pitch yet.
This is LEXCEPTIO's fork of Mike. So far it reads less like a product launch and more like someone staking out their own copy and making early, deliberate choices about how it will be governed and built.
The most legible move is a licensing one: LEXCEPTIO has declared the fork under AGPL-3.0-only, one of the strictest copyleft licenses around. That's a meaningful signal about how they intend any downstream use - including hosted deployments - to play out. Beyond that, there's some early modernization of the backend's build configuration, the kind of housekeeping you do before you start building in earnest.
There's no rebrand, no announced niche, and no deployment story on display yet. If you want to see where this is heading, the GitHub repo is the place to watch.
What's in it
- AGPL-3.0-only licensing LEXCEPTIO has relicensed the fork under AGPL-3.0-only, a strong copyleft choice that extends obligations to network-deployed use.
- Backend build modernization Early groundwork updating how the backend's TypeScript build resolves modules, aligning it with how modern bundlers behave.
