mdelias/mike

mdelias is getting Mike stood up on Railway and wiring in OpenRouter as an extra model backend.

Active in late June 2026 with a tight burst of deployment and build-fix work; twelve commits in, still early and infrastructure-focused.

This is mdelias's fork of Mike, and right now it reads as a deployment-and-plumbing effort rather than a product pivot. The bulk of the work is about getting Mike to build cleanly and run on Railway - resyncing dependencies, forcing the account and API-key pages to render dynamically so they stop reaching for credentials at build time, and unpicking a handful of self-inflicted build breaks along the way.

The one feature with real reach is OpenRouter support. mdelias added it as a fourth model backend alongside Claude, Gemini, and OpenAI - and, importantly, closed the loop so a stored OpenRouter key actually routes a request rather than just sitting in config. If you're the kind of team that wants to point Mike at OpenRouter's model catalog, this fork already does it.

There's no rebrand here, no legal-specific niche, and no sign of a bigger direction yet. It's someone taking Mike, broadening its model options, and doing the unglamorous work of making it deploy. Click through to GitHub if you want to see where it lands next.

What's in it

OpenRouter as a model backend Adds OpenRouter alongside Claude, Gemini, and OpenAI - and makes a saved OpenRouter key actually route requests, not just sit in settings.
Railway deployment The fork is being stood up on Railway, with the dependency and build work that entails so the app installs and boots cleanly.
Build stability A run of fixes recovering from broken builds - dependency drift and account pages that were failing to compile or prerender.
Dynamic account pages Account and API-key management pages now render on demand instead of at build time, so they stop failing when credentials aren't present.
