Yes, it's really hacky and the whole thing is entirely silly and could have been solved by using more proper tools (i.e. not a defunct make software without wildcard support for input files or Excel for configuration), but I was VERY pleased when I got it working.
Using Firefox, if you open up viewer.js in the debugger and set a breakpoint on line 265 where archiveurl is being set and select a track to play, you should be able to manually pick out either the zip file that contains it, or the file inside with the weird, jumbled name.
But really the takeaway is the auto-completion. Incredibly useful.
It's basically that easy, and the rest is a bunch of toying around. If you've got everything written in a non-book program, you can format everything with a combination of margin options and page size and VERY liberal use of page breaks. I don't recommend it though. Something like InDesign might be better, but it will have some learning curve. The same goes for your cover, MSPaint could technically work, but something like Photoshop/Illustrator will work better.
Hope that helps, even though it's not very specific. Every step has a lot of sub-steps to take care of and learn about, so take it easy and do it one bit at a time. Focus on book layout first, because if you have a specific style in mind for how your haikus should be laid out on the page, it's going to all happen there, and your page size choice may restrict you.
Don't think that because all you read is bad that the world is bad.
You can, but it won’t work very well, as Tesseract is designed for printed text. Look for projects focussed on handwriting recognition."
To which I found https://github.com/githubharald/SimpleHTR, which has a number of references that you should look at.
But really take breaks, lower the brightness, use the color change function if you work at night, keep the monitor further away from you (check your ergonomics).
