"porting" traditionally means modifying the source code to compile on another platform.

You don't need to "port" an application just to wrap it in an integration launcher.


If I wanted to use Syncthing on a Kindle, I'd wrap it in a KUAL (Kindle Unified Application Launcher) extension, just some basic JSON describing the shell commands available. I would imagine it works as-is.
Perhaps it would be necessary to modify some iptables rules.


Why don't you investigate what it takes to create a graphical launcher for an application on the Kindle?
Maybe the "Kobo Start Menu" could help, sounds like it does a similar job to KUAL.
