Webpack Module Federation for Volto: Deploy Blocks Without Rebuilding the Frontend

Every time you add a block to Volto, you wait 5-10 minutes for a full frontend rebuild.
MF-Blocks-Manager eliminates that entirely.

Upload a .tar.gz from Site Setup. The block appears in the editor immediately — no rebuild, no restart, no deploy pipeline. Built on Webpack Module Federation with shared React scope, SSR pre-registration, and a one-command
auto-installer for Plone 6 + Volto.

Backend: collective.mfblocks (Python add-on, REST API)
Frontend: volto-mfblocks (Volto add-on, MF Loader, Control Panel)
