abbyshekit/mike
A small, security-minded fork of Mike from abbyshekit, focused on tightening the backend rather than reshaping the product.
This fork of Mike comes from abbyshekit, and at first glance it looks almost identical to upstream - the visible product hasn't been rebranded or repositioned. The interesting work is happening underneath, in the kind of unglamorous backend hardening that matters more for legal-tech than most categories.
So far, the public footprint is a single thread of work: a tight, surgical security pass on the backend that closes an authorization gap, stops legal documents from quietly leaking to disk, and removes a hardcoded fallback secret. It reads like the work of someone who sat down, read the code carefully, and fixed exactly what was wrong - no scope creep.
Where it's heading is harder to say. abbyshekit hasn't tipped a hand toward a niche, a rebrand, or a deployment story. If you're curious about the specifics of what was fixed, the GitHub repo is the place to look.
What's in it
- Tighter authorization Closes a gap where the backend wasn't checking permissions as strictly as it should have on a sensitive path.
- No more disk-leaking documents Stops legal documents from being written to disk as a side effect of normal processing - a meaningful confidentiality fix.
- No hardcoded fallback secret Removes a baked-in secret that would have silently activated if configuration was missing, replacing a quiet failure mode with a loud one.
