hosman20 makes a firm name mandatory at signup
A small form-field change that telegraphs a much bigger pivot: this fork is going B2B.
The hosman20 team rebuilt the login and signup screens on Mike's refreshed visual system, but the move worth noticing isn't the new look. It's that the signup form now refuses to let anyone through without an organisation name. The team flags this explicitly as a product decision, not a UX nicety.
What got dropped is just as telling. Single sign-on and magic-link buttons that appeared in the design drafts were cut because there's no working plumbing behind them yet - a tidy choice that keeps the page honest. Confirm-password stays. The result is a front door built for firms, not individuals signing up on a whim.
If you're tracking how Mike forks are repositioning the upstream codebase, this one is putting up a clear sign: paying customers are companies, and the product knows it from the first click.
