Octo Preview - Live Markdown Preview for GitHub Comments

Octo Preview is a Chrome extension that automatically displays live previews of comments (including rendered markdown output) as you type on GitHub. It works anywhere on GitHub, including Pull Requests, Issues, and Gists. If you encounter any bugs, please open a new issue on the GitHub repository. 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.
