Octo Preview

What is Octo Preview?
Octo Preview is a Chrome extension that automatically displays live previews of comments (including rendered markdown output) as you type on GitHub.

Please note that Octo Preview relies on frequent HTTP requests for parsed/rendered Markdown output, so it is not recommended for users with slower connections.
