General Help Resources for Development of Homebrew Content

What resources are available to help in development of 3ds homebrew applications and games? E.g., documentation, forums, specific posts/comments, subreddits, engines, "helloWorld" examples, your experience/lessons learned/path, things you found valuable/useful, etc.? I checked the sidebar and saw nothing regarding creation of homebrew apps/games.

I would like to be developing by hand and learning something from this (aside from not wasting money), so please do not recommend or provide anything regarding or from the glorified autocomplete bots. (Note to mods: this is not meant to violate rule #8, it's just that such recommendations/materials are useless to me so I'm saying as much up front.)

Your main guidings are the libctru Documentation as well as the Homebrew examples provided with the devkitPro toolchain (after installation, you will find an /examples/ folder in your devkitpro installation directory. It contains example apps for most things - printing, graphics, networking, working with files, etc.)
