Hi. I would like to make some small apps on my kindle paperwhite. I have jailbroken my kindle and installed KUAL. I have read and researched about this topic, but I still find it difficult to begin.

this is what i know by looking in some of the extension folders:
- you can change the name of an extension in the kual app by changing the menu.json file which also runs the .sh files in the bin folder.
- the kindle can run bash commands.
- the kindle is a linux system.
- the kindle can run python? (I want to make a python app and test it on my kindle).
- I have read somewhere that if it can run on linux-arm-something then it can run on the kindle.

Is there a sort of hello world/noob guide or could anyone elaborate on how this works?
