Funny. During my bachelor thesis I added Pandoc as a renderer to an Atom markdown preview extension. (instead of actually writing my thesis)

Old is new, the editor and the extension are now defunct. What was best about this exercise, I got so well versed with the markdown and Pandoc features at the time, that I didn’t need the preview at all.
