dave-parachute/mike

A lawyer-led polish of Mike's onboarding, aimed at making the open-source project approachable for non-engineers who want to try it.

Very early and very narrow - one thread of onboarding revisions, last touched in early May 2026, with no further activity since.

This fork comes from @dave-parachute, who appears to have approached Mike from the user side rather than the developer side - walking through the setup as a lawyer rather than an engineer and noting where the path got rough. The work so far is a single thread of revisions to the project's onboarding materials, targeting the friction points that tend to trip up first-time, non-developer installers.

There's no product reskin here, no new niche, no deployment story of its own. It reads as a contribution back toward upstream Mike rather than a divergent product - the kind of careful, sympathetic editing that comes from someone who recently sat in the new-user seat and remembers what was confusing.

If you're curious whether Mike is approachable for a non-engineer audience, @dave-parachute's notes are probably the most useful single read on that question right now.
