bus factor = how many people it takes to cover more than half the commits (6 months). 1 is a solo project; higher means the work is spread across a team. top-author share is the single busiest author's slice of those commits.

why it's a big deal

  • Mike is an AGPL-3.0, self-hostable AI legal document assistant, giving legal professionals an open alternative to closed SaaS tools where documents and API keys stay on their own instance.
  • CourtListener integration adds US case law citation verification, case fetching, and opinion search, addressing the hallucinated-citation problem by checking references against real case law.
  • Users bring their own keys for Anthropic, Google Gemini, or OpenAI, set instance-wide or per user, so teams control model choice and cost without a vendor lock-in.

under the hood

  • Written almost entirely in TypeScript, with a Next.js frontend and an Express backend backed by Supabase for Postgres and Auth.
  • Files are held in Cloudflare R2 or S3-compatible object storage, with DOC and DOCX converted to PDF via LibreOffice for document processing and chat.
  • The Postgres schema uses incremental migrations, and account management encrypts per-user API keys.
