vincentbirot teaches Mike to speak like a law firm

vincentbirot's fork does one small but pointed thing: it rewrites the visible vocabulary of Mike's interface so that what the software calls a "Project" now reads as a "Matter." Tabs, buttons, breadcrumbs, modal headers, empty-state messages - anywhere a user's eye lands, the legal term wins. For a litigator or legal-ops lead, "matter" isn't jargon dressing; it's the native unit of work, and software that uses it feels built for the practice rather than retrofitted.

Notably, the change stops at the surface. The underlying code, the web address, and the developer-facing plumbing still say "project" - a deliberate choice vincentbirot flagged openly, trading a perfectly clean rename for less friction. There's a catch worth knowing: because the wording sits exactly where upstream Mike will keep editing, every future update from the original project risks a small tug-of-war over these labels.
