Yes but the difference here is that you write in markdown, and it does the TeX-ing for you.

#6It would be nice if the website had the corrospinding markdown for comparison.

#7Using templates with low-level formatting commands defeats the point in LaTeX being about high-level semantic macros. Why not define an \author macro? The YAML input and the input using a well-crafted set of macros would be very similar, to the point where I feel like the OP is really misunderstanding what LaTeX is about.

#8I just use a Makefile[1] for this, I just type 'make', and it builds it and uses xdg-open to open it in my PDF viewer. Much faster than waiting for ShareLaTeX or similar web apps to re-render.
Gummi[2] is also nice for instant feedback, and you don't need to get the whole toolchain working by hand.

You can try latexmk, it does almost all of the work when building LaTeX (including getting cross-references right) and can even watch for changes and rebuild the document when necessary, updating your PDF reader too. Just calling _latexmk -pdf -silent -xelatex -pvc mydoc.tex_ should suffice (the -pvc option is for the continuous build and preview mode).

evince reload the pdf when I recompile it. So you might be able to get rid of the xdg-open call.
