HackMD is a clean but powerful online interface for developing markdown documents. It is collaborative (multiple editors and viewer). It renders expected output real-time, and it is free. They are also beginning to offer an enterprise edition with additional enterprisy features (super refined permissions, auditable changes, etc).

Very nice tool with many advantages : Collaborative with permissions Pretty light Fully featured (math support, tables, slide show, etc.) With a few drawbacks: Tries to be smart (it guesses what you want to do and tries to help, often in a wrong and annoying way, for example it when working...

Out of Date Pros + Cons
Con Can't sync with git repo
Syncing with a git repo (as StackEdit can) is a major functionality that HackMD is missing.
Con Hard-wrapping rule support only
CORRECTION: this is customizable.
Hard-wrapping is the default, this can be overridden with YAML customer metadata at the top of the file.
Con No Google Drive Support
This is incorrect, or updated since this con was posted. You can import and export from Google Drive. It's not a "sync" function, but it is quite useful.
