"""Written on iPhone with the Pythonista 3 app

As a joke for the PyBites guys, I don't see why it wouldn't work anywhere else though. They always
start off their newsletter annoucements with:

from @PyBites import newsletter

So I turned it into actual code that pulls their feed and opens their latest newsletter in a browser :)

    It pulls out the articles and displays their title, link, and description.
