project design with lua
Can't give you a tutorial, but maybe it is interesting to you how we (well, I'm not an active part of the team anymore, it has evolved considerably after my active time in that project - back in the day, I kicked off the humble beginnings) in the KOReader project went on, so I suggest to study that. We've separated the "glue" part - https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base - from the "application" part, https://github.com/koreader/koreader That approach served well, if I'm any judge, since the former deals with C/Lua interop (API and LuaJIT's FFI), while the latter is a "pure" Lua framework. Start with reading "reader.lua", it will eventually call in the main application loop, UIManager:run().

Converting markdown to pdf in Python
This method is based on the use of the libraries markdown-it-py (conversion from markdown to html) and [PyMuPDF] https://github.com/pymupdf/PyMuPDF) (conversion from html to pdf). A small Python class links them together.

Show HN: I am building a new Python library to read/write PDF files
I think you might mean PyMuPDF (https://github.com/pymupdf/PyMuPDF), a Python library built on top of the MuPDF C library (https://mupdf.com/).
PyMuPDF and MuPDF are both available under dual open source AGPL and commercial licenses. They have been around for many years and are under continual development.
[Disclaimer, i work for Artifex, who wrote MuPDF and recently acquired PyMuPDF.]
