This is good stuff.

I used a slightly different workflow on my last draft, mostly because I ended up using Microsoft Word.

1. Edit document.
2. Save copy of document as .docx.
3. Upload to word2md.com
4. Download markdown.
5. Tweak.

This probably has far worse privacy properties than your tool, but it seems to have a sane privacy policy: https://word2md.com/privacy/  And it worked wonderfully.
