hoogvliets opens the books on its downstream Mike frontend

An AGPL-compliance disclosure that doubles as a tour of a real, in-use legal-AI interface.

workflowchat-ui

hoogvliets is publishing the frontend of its own downstream version of Mike. This isn't a pitch for a new feature - it's the obligation that comes with running open-source software as a service under the AGPL license: if you modify it and offer it to users, you publish your changes. The team carved the frontend out from the backend and database work so reviewers could read it as one coherent piece.

What the disclosed interface covers:

  • Account settings, including a self-service account-deletion flow tied into the backend
  • A project workspace split into separate document, browsing, and workflow panels
  • Document viewing with Word/DOCX rendering
  • The AI assistant chat, with a toggle to switch between models
  • A tabular review panel for working through documents in a structured grid

One caveat: the disclosure was closed without ever merging into the base project, so it stands as a transparency artifact rather than a change to the shared codebase.

So what Worth a look for anyone curious what a working private Mike deployment actually looks like, and how the AGPL keeps these forks out in the open.
