Seems like to be a Sublime Text clone in webkit?
Maybe an announcement that git bought sublime and this is the web launch of it. I would be so excited if that happened.

The most vital one, showing it wants to be hacked at (in a good way): http://i.imgur.com/XmLcOhB.gif Awesomeness.
Looks good and all... but I'm interested in the story on how it leaked on Twitter. The link just goes to the Github repo now.
