about

Mark Krymov

Software dev with a design background. I currently lead launch.ist, an agency specializing in bootstrapped product launches.

I have a passion for both human and computer languages, and for cultures different from my own. Current preoccupations: history, swimming, weightlifting, and software.

Reach me by email at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]), or via the agency at launch.ist.

What this site is

A long-form notebook. Posts get written when an idea has stayed in my head long enough to be worth pinning down. Subscribe via RSS, Atom, or JSON Feed — or read the raw site index for LLMs at /llms.txt.

Colophon

  • Built with Hugo on a custom theme — Debrett’s Mainframe — written for this site.
  • Type stack: Vollkorn for body, Unbounded for display, JetBrains Mono for code. All free, all self-hosted, all with first-class Cyrillic.
  • Color in OKLCH. One curated accent per post; structural ink and paper invert for dark mode.
  • Sidenotes, marginnotes, and full-width figures are preserved. Per-post sparklines are written as plain Notion code blocks.
  • The source markdown of every post is available by appending index.md to the post URL — https://mrkrmv.com/blog/<post>/index.md.
  • Site-level files for machines: /llms.txt, /llms-full.txt, /sitemap.xml, /.well-known/security.txt.
