Looking for help getting started with TinyFPGA
apio is a python package you drive from the command line. I didn't know somebody had done an integration with Atom. I've installed and used apio on my phone. I wouldn't really recommend doing that, but it shows what's possible.

Learning Verilog and FPGA
I've had good experiences using Upduino 3.0 and 3.1 [0] with the IceStorm tools via apio [1]. I wrote a blog post [2] with some info on getting things set up via Linux. All you need is the Upduino board, which interfaces to your host system via USB (so no special programmer is needed).

FPGA dev board that's cheap, simple and supported by OSS toolchain
if you're more comfortable with the CLI, you should take a look at the apio project (https://github.com/FPGAwars/apio). It neatly bundles all the required tools. Regarding HDLs, I'm still learning so can't offer any good advice on that.

Designing a RISC-V CPU, Part 1: Learning hardware design as a software engineer
I've had this recommended and it looks v promising! https://vivonomicon.com/2020/04/14/learning-fpga-design-with...
Someone above has mentioned Robert Baruch too: https://github.com/RobertBaruch/nmigen-tutorial
I also found this helpful: http://blog.lambdaconcept.com/doku.php?id=nmigen:tutorial
And there is of course the IRC channel if you want to ask people questions, #nmigen on irc.freenode.net
