The workbench

In November 2014, eight months before Ethereum mainnet shipped, Alex Van de Sande walked through a UI mockup he called Mist — a vertical sidebar, an App Catalog grouped by action instead of by name, an Identity Picker, and smart-contract code rendered as the Terms of Use. The browser shipped, sync got painful, Electron got dangerous, and by 2019 the project was archived.

This is the room that picks up where it stopped — same bones, 2026 stack. The catalog is real. The window onto Ethereum is live. The coffee pot, still on.
