<h2><span class="p-name">Mark Krymov</span></h2>
<p class="p-note">
Software dev with a design background. I currently lead
<a class="p-org" href="[https://www.launch.ist](https://www.launch.ist/)" rel="me">launch.ist</a>,
an agency specializing in bootstrapped product launches.
</p>
<p>
I have a passion for both human and computer languages, and for
cultures different from my own. Current preoccupations:
<span class="p-category">history</span>,
<span class="p-category">swimming</span>,
<span class="p-category">weightlifting</span>,
and <span class="p-category">software</span>.

## 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](https://www.notion.so/index.xml), [Atom](https://www.notion.so/atom.xml), or [JSON Feed](https://www.notion.so/feed.json) —

## Colophon

- Built with [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/) on a custom theme — *Debrett's
Mainframe* — written for this site.
- Type stack: [Vollkorn](https://github.com/FAlthausen/Vollkorn-Typeface)
for body, [Unbounded](https://github.com/yummygum/unbounded-fonts) for
display, [JetBrains Mono](https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsMono)
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](https://www.notion.so/llms.txt),
