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 🙌
