A few places to find Owls Department online, plus open-source tools we maintain alongside Flyva - built because we needed them, shared in case you do too.

Owls Department

owlsdepartment.com — Come say hello. You will find our work, how we think about digital products and award-worthy websites, and the easiest way to start a conversation with the team.

Our other Open Source projects

Ovee.js — For teams who love server-rendered pages but still want a modern, component-shaped frontend. Ovee adds a light, optional layer of reactivity on top of markup the server already sent - no need to turn every project into a heavy client app. Prefer a proper guide? The handbook walks you through it.

vite-plugin-babel — Vite is blazing fast; sometimes you still want Babel in the loop. This plugin keeps your decorators, experimental syntax, or custom transforms working while you develop, not only when you ship - so what you write in dev matches what you build.

vite-plugin-dev-manifest — When Vite runs beside a classic CMS (WordPress is the sweet spot we had in mind), this plugin drops a tiny manifest that points your backend at the right dev URLs. You keep HMR and a sane theme structure; the server stops guessing which bundle to load.

owd-path-builder — Build SVG paths in JS without the string-juggling headache. A small, readable API turns “move here, curve there, close the shape” into clean path data - nice when motion, icons, or generative graphics need to stay maintainable.
