FireVlyx

The Idea

.web.app domains look clean. They look professional. There’s something about yourproject.web.app that just hits differently compared to a random Netlify or Vercel subdomain.

But getting there? Firebase Hosting has a reputation for being annoying to set up, CLI installs, firebase login, config files, GitHub Actions wiring, environment secrets… it’s a lot of friction, especially for someone who just wants their site live with a cool domain.

So I built FireVlyx, a browser-based deployment tool that removes the command line from the equation entirely.

What is FireVlyx?

FireVlyx lets you deploy your website to Firebase Hosting directly from your browser, no terminal, no CLI, no local setup required. You connect your GitHub and Google Firebase accounts, and FireVlyx handles everything else.

It also supports Vercel deployments via GitHub repo connection.

How It Works

Two Ways to Deploy

Option 1: Upload a ZIP Don’t have a GitHub repo? No problem. Upload your project as a .zip file. FireVlyx will:

• Create a new GitHub repository for you
• Commit your code to it
• Set up GitHub Actions automatically
• Wire up Firebase Hosting and deploy

Option 2: Connect an Existing Repo Already have your code on GitHub? Connect your repo, pick your branch, and FireVlyx sets up the deployment pipeline from there.

What Gets Automated

Once your repo is connected, FireVlyx:

• Configures GitHub Actions for CI/CD
• Sets all required environment variables as GitHub repo secrets so the Actions workflow runs correctly
• Deploys your site to Firebase Hosting
• Sets up auto-deploy on every push to your default branch, commit and it goes live, automatically

Domain Management

Users can also change their Firebase subdomain directly from the FireVlyx interface, no need to go into the Firebase console manually.

Multiple Sites, Multiple Subdomains

Firebase supports multiple hosting sites per project, and FireVlyx exposes this fully:

• Multiple sites from one Firebase project, each site can point to a different repo or codebase
• Multiple subdomains from one repo, deploy the same codebase to multiple .web.app subdomains by creating multiple hosting sites pointing to the same repo

Tech Stack

Why It Exists

Firebase Hosting is genuinely good infrastructure, fast CDN, free SSL, clean .web.app domains, tight Google ecosystem integration. But the setup experience has always been developer-CLI-first, which means a lot of people skip it in favour of Vercel or Netlify just because those have smoother UIs.

FireVlyx brings Firebase Hosting to the same level of accessibility, if you can drag and drop a file or click “Connect to GitHub”, you can have a .web.app site live in minutes.
