The screencast look good. For parallel/prior work in this sort of "live update" of the typeset document (and to learn from their experiences), you may also want to look at:
• SwiftLaTeX (https://github.com/SwiftLaTeX/SwiftLaTeX / https://www.swiftlatex.com/ — the cool demo that used to be on their site seems to be gone, but see HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21710105)

• VorTeX (see Pehong Chen's PhD thesis from 1988).
