We don't have HTML preview, which might be interesting. Surely it's possible to whip up a userscript for it, if anyone would actually find it massively useful. (Or, we can just leave the browser's own Web Developer bar open to see the HTML. ctrl-f is our friend.)
Are you sure we don't? Well, last time I used livepreview was probably 2007 or so, but it's still in preferences. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/special:search/livepreview also not very useful.
See links for "Live preview" earlier on in my message (a.k.a. Ajax Preview). (Or to repeat: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Js/ajaxPreview which I heartily recommend, and there are 3 alternative items linked at the bottom of that page. The one in Special:Preferences isn't nearly as good.)
Re: HTML-preview: I suspect I've misunderstood that section of the Medium post (I thought he was coming at it from a debugger angle, but possibly not). Now that I re-read it, I think maybe he's just asking for "synchronous scrolling & selection-highlighting" in the side-by-side preview?
