M2M is a nice utility that converts Medium posts to Markdown to help with my writing workflow. I write my essays using Medium, which is a kickass writing tool, but publish them first on my blog, and afterwards publish the same article on Medium.

It’s an extension for Google Chrome and Chromium. Click to install from from Chrome Web Store.

You should see an “M” icon in your toolbar after you install. Simply click on the “M” icon when you’re on any Medium article (also works in the edit view of drafts, so you can convert your drafts before publishing them). You’ll get a popup with Markdown text. Select all and and copy and paste into any tool that accepts Markdown.

Enjoy!

Start by looking at background.js, then m2m.js.
