All I really want is Google Docs to support Markdown, is that too much to ask? Yes? All right then, I guess we'll have to settle for Marky.
Marky is a simple Javascript app wrapper around the widely known Etherpad that lets you write collaborative, live-previewed Markdown documents with your friends.
Marky works well with code fences and other GitHub flavored markdown (thanks to the Marked library).
