Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on improving the development workflow for Blogger (XML) themes and built a small Vite plugin for it:

https://github.com/bloggerkit/blogger-plugin/tree/main/packages/blogger-plugin

What it does:

  • Bundle JS/CSS using Vite
  • Work locally instead of editing inside Blogger
  • Use frameworks like React/Svelte/Vue via Vite plugins
  • Output assets for CDN (e.g. jsDelivr) and include them in your theme

The workflow is basically:
develop locally → bundle with Vite → upload to CDN → use in XML

For context, I am experimenting it using React in Blogger here:
https://github.com/blogger-themes/react-blogger-template

This plugin is my attempt to make that process cleaner and closer to a modern frontend setup.

Would love feedback:

  • Does this workflow make sense?
  • Would you actually use React/Svelte in Blogger?
  • Any rough edges or missing features?

If you’ve worked seriously with Blogger themes, I’d really value your input.

Thanks 🙌
