Blogger Takeout Viewer - 2025-07-26

I'm working on cutting ties with Google. Although I could download my blogs' content from Google Takeout, that doesn't mean the received material is usable. There was an Atom feed for each blog and an album folder for pictures. For my blog about Python game development, it was easy to find the images for the posts. However, that isn't the case for most blogs. The posts are also in random order in the exported feed. Reading and reusing the data is anything but easy.

So, I quickly created a new project that visualizes blog posts in Markdown. The next step will be to show the metadata too on the UI. It has already been parsed in the business logic. Then, I plan to implement a solution that pairs the posts with their pictures.

The project is available here: https://framagit.org/gridranger/blogger-takeout-viewer But it is far from being ready yet.
