I also just started creating my own app ([link](https://community.homey.app/t/app-comments-for-flow-simple-cards-to-add-comments-to-flows-v0-0-1/32251/12)). My knowledge about software coding is last used about 20 years ago. And no knowledge of jacascript yet.

What I did (also advised by @robertklep above)  
This is a good starting point: [https://developer.athom.com/](https://developer.athom.com/)  
Choose “create your own app” and follow the described process.

This will result in having your first app running on homey. Without any functionality yet.

What I did to learn a bit more about javascript is: download the source code of an existing app from github. Pick an app that is already doing a bit what you want your new app to be doing.

And the nice thing about the forum is: theres always people willing to help
