How can I write a simple app?

Hi everyone,

I am a professional dev, but newbie on Kobo. I'd like to use my Glo in a variety of situation as a tool for generating random stuff – let's start with simply generating random numbers. Of course, I want to be able to continue using my reader for books.

My first attempt was to write an ebook with JS code, and use that JS code to generate the random numbers. Unfortunately, the reader apparently doesn't interpret JS, so that won't work.

So plan B is writing some kind of native app and adding it as some kind of widget to the main screen. I've seen around the forum that some people are coding with Qt and/or Python, but I have no idea where to start. I'm willing to use pretty much any programming language/toolkit.

Cheers
