jsw324 is reskinning Mike into unburdn law

A fork of Mike gets renamed everywhere a client would see it, turning the open-source tool into a branded product called unburdn law.

The rename runs deeper than a logo. jsw324 swapped "Mike" out of the parts of the product that users actually touch - the welcome copy, the signup terms and privacy links (now pointing at unburdn.ai), and, notably, the AI assistant's own self-description. The model that used to introduce itself as Mike now answers as unburdn law.

That last piece is worth flagging. The product name is baked into the assistant's underlying instructions, and changing it can quietly shift how the assistant talks - its tone, its sense of who it is - even when nothing else moves. Anyone rebranding for their own shop should re-test the assistant's behaviour after the swap rather than assume it's cosmetic. jsw324 kept the change deliberately shallow: under the hood, the plumbing still says Mike. This is a storefront, not a gut renovation.

So what Anyone weighing whether to white-label Mike for their own firm or product should study this fork first.

99375788 Remove frontend/bun.lock so Railpack uses npm + package-lock.json Jason Walkow 2026-05-03 ↗ GitHub
commit body
Railpack prefers bun when bun.lock is present, but the file was stale
relative to package.json after the Next.js bump and failed
--frozen-lockfile. The repo standardizes on npm per the README, so the
bun lockfile is unused - removing it lets Railpack fall back to npm and
the up-to-date package-lock.json.
