beerbottle90 is packaging Mike as a double-click Windows app

A run of commits turns a developer's codebase into a one-click installer aimed at people who have never opened a terminal.

infrastructure

beerbottle90 has spent a string of commits turning their fork of Mike into something a non-technical user can install by double-clicking - a proper Windows download with a desktop shortcut, an uninstaller, and a setup wizard that walks you through plugging in your database and your AI provider keys. Most forks of Mike read like developer projects you clone and run from a command line. This one is built to be handed to someone who has never seen one.

The later rounds tackle the unglamorous realities of shipping software: character-encoding breakage, license text, and quietly generating the secrets that protect stored API keys at install time instead of leaving them blank. It is packaging work, not new legal features - but the intent is unmistakable. This fork wants to be distributed to end users, not just run by engineers.

So what Worth a look for anyone weighing whether to put a legal-AI tool directly on a non-technical colleague's desktop rather than standing it up as a hosted service.
