I want to add where I see value in editors like this (a question that came up in a Google+ comment).
The value is in bundling that experience of live editing together. The editor pane could eventually mature to being an AsciiDoc-aware text editor, perhaps even boosting special key bindings that optimize it for AsciiDoc editing. The pane on the right is a WebKit-based browser, so it's a real preview, on par with desktop editors.
But the killer feature, as I picture it, will be the scroll and highlight synchronization that's possible when the two panes are managed by the same application. Prior to rendering the content, the UI controller could insert hidden markup at the place of the cursor, then make sure the location of that marker is in view after the HTML has been rendered...perhaps even throwing a spotlight on that location with JavaScript as a visual aid.
Never stop innovating.
