What's in a Name?

NThings started as a simple idea during the IoT wave around 2015. I spent evenings wiring up Intel Galileo boards and Raspberry Pis, hacking around with MQTT and trying to make sense of sensor data streams (yeah, really). The name was a play on “Network of Things”, a label for side projects that blurred the line between software and the physical world.

My work has since moved deeper into platform engineering, but the name stuck. Today, NThings is a gateway to the things I build: where I connect threads in public, share the tools I craft, and document what breaks along the way.
