#Looking for guidance on getting up to speed to learn to develop Discourse plugins

I am not a frontend developer but I recently deployed a Discourse site with a friend so I can build a Web3 community. But before I can start promoting my site, I wanted to implement a few plugins to direct discussion. The simplest ones would be a way to make a reply glow on pulses to signify the person is being sarcastic. And I'd like to make another plugin where you can check off any argument fallacies a post makes.

Right now I've been working through the ember tutorial and I don't see the light at the end of the tunnel. I took on an ember tutorial because I followed this guide

https://meta.discourse.org/t/learn-how-to-start-building-stuff-for-discourse-if-youre-newbie-like-myself/45954

But I don't feel like I know what I know from the ember tutorial that I've slowly followed along over the past month. So to be more clear since I'm just rambling at this point, what would you do in my position?

maybe you could look at the implementation of an open source Discourse plugin for inspiration? or even fork one to fiddle with
