Building & using simple utils in Rye console

We use Rye console to iteratively and interactively create a tool that lists top stories on Hacker news. We create this in it’s context, and in another context we make a simple Soma.fm player, that parses the streams from their website, lists them and then plays the selected one.

All devlopment is done just in Rye console/REPL and we use the utils built in the same console, bridging the gap between maker/tweaker and user.

Console state is persisted, so we can continue using/tweaking it next time.
