This is great! Ever since I briefly worked with .rmd files in combination with RStudio I had it in the back of my mind that it would be nice to have something like it (but lightweight) for Markdown with Python and pipe the output through Pandoc. Jupyter Notebooks are nice, but it gets hacky to use your own editor and the file format is bad for git diffs. I'm definitely going to give Codebraid a solid try.
There's also jupytext, which provides round trip conversion between Rmarkdown and jupyter notebooks, so you can edit the markdown in jupyter, or in an editor and have it automatically converted to ipynb!
Yes, that's one way to describe what I'm hoping to do with this. The focus right now is on markdown, but since Pandoc supports so many input formats, it should be easy to add support for other formats like LaTeX once the markdown features stabilize. There isn't yet an equivalent of org-babel's ability to share data between code blocks, though I hope to add something similar eventually. The next big feature will probably be the ability to name code blocks, and then insert any combination of their code/output/errors at arbitrary other locations in the document.
