Jeroen1991z plants a Dutch flag on Mike

A Netherlands-flavoured fork stops pretending to be the upstream project and starts looking like its own product.

Jeroen1991z has rebranded the fork as MikeNL everywhere a user actually sees the name - the logo, the browser tab, the sidebar, error pages, the workflow labels, the prompts the AI uses to introduce itself, even the author field stamped into exported Word documents. Under the hood the old names are left untouched so nothing breaks, but on the surface this no longer reads as someone else's tool with a sticker on it.

The signup page also swaps the upstream project's terms-and-privacy links for in-house placeholder pages, with a polite "coming soon" notice while the real policies get written. Small move, but a public-facing legal product can't ship pointing its terms link at someone else's domain.

So what Worth a glance for anyone running a white-labelled Mike fork - it's a tidy checklist of every place the upstream name leaks through.
