The personalization contents should all be marked with "UPDATE_" prefixes. Replace the cover.jpg and glyph.png files in the content/Images folder with your own. The instructions for converting the files into an EPUB are below.
I'm providing this as-is with no guarantees of functionality. Feel free to share this, and if you publish anything let me know! If you have any questions, slide into my DMs on Twitter.

Here's an example of a minimal stylesheet. No fonts required, no indent on leading paragraph, tab indent on every following paragraph, and spacing is all done inline during editing:
h1.title {
margin-top: 4em;
text-align: center;
text-indent: 0em;
}
h3.subtitle {
margin-top: 1em;
text-align: center;
text-indent: 0em;
}
h2.author {
margin-top: 2em;
text-align: center;
text-indent: 0em;
}
p {
margin: 0em;
text-indent: 2em;
}
p.first {
margin-top: 1em;
text-indent: 0em;
}
p.centered {
text-indent: 0em;
text-align: center;
}
p.copyright {
margin-top: 1em;
text-align: center;
text-indent: 0em;
}
