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.

Directly using `Copy as HTML` in Obsidian also works without anything else.

Hey thanks for this, am in the process of moving over to Substack and I'm a big Obsidian supporter. Was going to used Marked2 after I found this but also just realized that you can now do "Paste from Markdown" in a Google Doc and copying from that to Substack also works!

I needed this comment to spark the right flow for me!

I am using Obsidian. If you switch to reading view, then copy and paste the text, it will format the headings correctly into Substack.

If you're using Obsidian, just use the Export to PDF command, copy/paste from the exported PDF.

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!
