About Naimur : Blog
A small paper-blog about the small machines: TinyML on a $2 chip, MQTT on the bench, BLDC and FOC from scratch, and a 1.1-billion-parameter model running on a Pi 5 because the parts finally fit.
What this is
Naimur : Blog is a paper-themed notebook I keep in public. The site is intentionally light: HTML, CSS, and one small JS file for each page, no build step, no framework. It is meant to be read offline as much as online — which is why each post is a single HTML file and the service worker caches the shell.
Why two languages
Most of my work is in English, most of my life is in Bangla. The blog has a single source per post — a long English body and a long Bangla body, both inline — and a small dictionary for everything else (nav, buttons, dates, status pills). The reader toggles with one chip; the page state is persisted to localStorage.
What goes here
- TinyML & embedded — model fitting into 256 KB of flash, quantization that actually works, the bench tools that find the slow part.
- IoT & protocols — MQTT topics that don't bite back, time-series storage that doesn't need a credit card.
- Robotics & control — BLDC commutation from an oscilloscope trace, FOC that survives a stalled rotor, the small PCB mistakes that take three spins to fix.
- Notes between the work — drafting rules, paper stock that takes fountain-pen ink, the way a 1970s engineering manual still beats a 2025 LLM at explaining a
phase-locked loop.
What does not go here
Hype posts. Generic "10 best tools" lists. Anything with a sponsored footer. The site is small on purpose — a single reading list, a few tags, a search box, and an about.
How the design is built
The design comes from the same engineering-drafting vocabulary I've been sketching in notebooks for years. A 32-pixel grid, a paper background, terracotta accents, a single rule-line between sections. The dark mode is the same drawing, inked differently. The fonts are DM Serif Display for headings, DM Sans for body, JetBrains Mono for measurement. Bangla falls back to Hind Siliguri and Noto Sans Bengali.
A small style note
Every post is its own HTML file. That makes the blog trivially cacheable, trivially offline, and trivially forked. If you want a new post, copy the POST-TEMPLATE-GUIDE, write a date-prefixed filename, drop it in posts/, and add an entry to posts/manifest.json. There is no CMS, no preview server, and no build.
The point of a paper blog is that a paper is a finished drawing. It does not need a frame; it does not need a feed; it does not need a community manager.
