okay, so my new PinePhone arrived, yay! and after a tricky challenge to get past the user registration screen, I am now ready to do some app development. I have previous experience with iOS and Android, and currently playing around with Zig. However I am new to Linux development, and from my brief bit of research I can see GUI options using SDL or GTK... Do we currently have a 'getting started' as an App developer type resource? maybe a template very basic GUI App? responding to orientation events, life cycle events etc, or is someone able to give me some pointers please? Something low level like single header C libs linking into my Zig would be ideal. i.e. I have no interest in giant frameworks with dependency hell. Alternative approach would be something like a unikernal template with a framebuffer starting point? I am open to suggestions
