amal66 makes Mike something you can run on your own servers

amal66's fork bundles everything needed to spin up a working copy of Mike on your own machine or infrastructure - the web front end, the API behind it, and, in later additions, file storage and a caching layer. The idea is that a contributor or an IT team can go from zero to a running system in a single step, rather than chasing down environment settings and dependencies one at a time.

This is plumbing, not a new feature - it doesn't change what Mike does, only how easily you can get a copy running. But it's the kind of plumbing that decides whether a tool stays a demo or becomes something a firm can actually evaluate in-house. The work mirrors a recurring push across Mike's wider fork family toward being genuinely self-hostable.
