Hey Brad, thanks for the post. I'm a markdown fan as well, and just starting to get going with Substack. I don't use [Notion](https://www.notion.so/), but do use [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/) and use both markdown and vim-mode (woot!). 

To get my markdown into Substack, I've found an easy workflow:

[Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/) -> open in [Marked 2](https://marked2app.com/) (awesome app by [Brett Terpstra](https://brettterpstra.com/)) -> copy from there into Substack and formatting links etc work well.

Thanks for writing this! It helped, but I still wish that pasting from Notion was better. Or better yet, that I could just write markdown anywhere (like in any Notes app) and it be automagically detected when pasting into Substack. It's 2023 😅

I hope there's some integration with Notion/Obsidian coming this year

I do a similar process out of Ulysses HTML preview. Unfortunately if creates footnotes that don't have the lovely click-back-to-where-you-came-from feature that Substack generates. Hand repairing them is a bit troublesome. Wondering if there is a pandoc fix that someone has developed!
