X-File-City/mike

A lightly customized Mike fork from X-File-City, wired up as a guided demo for their File City code-visualization tool.

Barely diverged and quiet - a single thread of work, last touched in early May 2026, with no sign this is being developed as a product fork.

This fork barely diverges from upstream Mike. The single thread of work here isn't a product change at all - it's an onboarding tour designed to walk visitors through the Mike codebase inside File City, the code-visualization tool that X-File-City is building elsewhere.

In other words, Mike is being used as a demo subject. If you tried this fork as a legal-tech product, you'd encounter essentially the same Mike you already know. The interesting story is sideways: X-File-City appears to be a tooling builder who picked Mike as a representative real-world codebase to showcase how their visualizer narrates an unfamiliar repo to a newcomer.

There's no rebrand, no niche pivot, no deployment angle to speak of. If you're curious about File City itself, the GitHub repo is where to look - this fork is the guided tour, not the destination.
