I'm endlessly distracted by other things at work, but I believe this same idea could also be used to provide real-time compilation of TeX'd documents as they're typed. Simon Rubinstein-Salzedo had suggested wanting something like a real-time Overleaf to teach his classes at https://eulercircle.com/ Interrupting and resurrecting the TeX-in-the-browser would let you render a document as it is typed.
