It took all Saturday, but a very perfunctory version of this tool is now live :). Check it out here: https://yoctoproject.github.io/bb-datastore-playground. Many thanks to Michael for setting up the GitHub repo for me!

It is basically a Python REPL with added 'bb' goodness.

It is very rough - no styling on the page, and it doesn't work on mobile. But it is already useful so please give it a try. It requires a modern-ish browser (though I haven't categorized what this actually means).

Next steps are to add a Godbolt-like editor and 'Run' button.

Thanks,
Chris
