The Flowlab Audio Library website is a website I’m working on that lets you upload your audio sounds, and gives you the direct .mp3 file URL to said audio, letting you use it in Flowlab without buying Indie to upload your sounds to Flowlab directly.
DISCLAIMER
For as long as I have used Google’s Firebase Hosting & Storage, it has been completely free, which is how I planned to make and keep this website up. However, Firebase recently sent out an email stating that Firebase Cloud Storage will require a payment plan to use in the future. For now, you can still use Flowlab Audio Library to upload and manage sounds. Unfortunately this means that sometime 2025, all files in storage will be automatically deleted. Any games linking to audio files hosted on this website will no longer load after that point.
Unless this is a misunderstanding, this means FAL will go offline some time from now till 2025. (edited)
As always, if you experience any problems or have any feedback, please let me know.
It’s in a very early state, but it’s mostly functional, so I wanted to go ahead and share it as soon as possible.
There’s currently a file size limit of 5mb.
I plan to keep it free forever, since Firebase hosting is free. However, there is a storage limit, and if it gets reached, I’ll have to pay for more storage. Unfortunately, this means I might have to make some kind of payment plan eventually that could let you upload bigger file sizes.
Firebase handles all of that stuff privately. I have no idea how, you’d have to contact Google Firebase support. All I do is put a field for your email and password, and then send that to the firebase servers. It makes your auth account, browser cookies, and everything else all by itself. I can’t see your password (although I can see your email when you signup, as well as a randomly generated UID)
Well like, I didn’t mean “manually” as when you upload I save it manually. When you upload audio, it uploads it to cloud storage connected to the website via Firebase Cloud Storage & Hosting. I have access to view this storage, which means I can see everyone’s uploads
