What the critic said, round 1

NIOI is a well-made dark Swiss documentation site. It follows evolve-2 closely in the header columns, (a.) typewriter indices, label curtain and register table, and it adds a real idea of its own: every image comes from one code-drawn blade engine, the curtain is a blade edge and the 13-step pinned scrub runs from rust to mirror. The copy is specific and useful: stone names, per-sun prices, a calculator, a sending procedure and an FAQ.
