fedec65 rebrands Mike with a Swiss tilt

The fork's loading spinner is now a snowflake, and the project answers to a new name: BetterCallMitCH.

brandingchat-ui

fedec65 has swapped the rotating Mike emblem inside the chat window for a snowflake graphic, and the same snowflake now sits in the browser tab as the favicon. The component still signals working, done, and error states - it's purely a visual change, not a behavioural one.

The move pairs with a broader rename of the project to BetterCallMitCH, which reads as a Swiss positioning cue (".ch" being Switzerland's country code). Taken together, it suggests fedec65 isn't planning to run this fork under Mike's identity - there's a distinct product being shaped here, even before any feature divergence shows up.

So what For anyone tracking how Mike forks localise or position themselves for specific European markets, this is an early, visible signal of intent - worth noting, not worth a deep read.

Spotted something wrong? Or know the PR text has fresher detail than the writeup above?
