Hi, so I'm looking for a way to get started with writing code for the kindle.

As far as I understood its basically a linux system that can run bash and python scripts as well as custom kindle apps

The project I have in mind for the k5 I have would be to run an mqtt server on the kindle and allow a website to send it messages that then are simple displayed on the eink display.

Is there a good page here or somewhere where I can find some starting points on displaying custom text or images, things like waking the kindle up by shell ... what commands in general I might be able to interact with from my script?
