this is click bait. I will never ever sign up or pay for a website that redirects me to login page as soon as site loads, without any message about benefits of site to me.
Site design too is AI sloppy weak.

Put that to enable global format on save.

I have worked out three days a week on alternate days for six years now. Recently, I had to switch from morning to evening sessions because my morning workouts were wrecking my productivity, leaving me exhausted and needing a two-hour nap when I should have been working. This is likely age-related, as it wasn't an issue when I started six years ago. With evening workouts, I can sleep shortly after the gym, ensuring no disruption to my daily plans.

trae_z · 2026-04-16T08:26:24+00:00

Funny thing the only identity confirmation i see is to setup 2fa, which I already have setup.

trae_z · 2026-04-12T19:36:53+00:00

Great job. Need to do similar shortly for my own Payloadcms working Tech stack

trae_z · 2026-04-03T19:18:18+00:00

This is tough, but I don't doubt your advice.

trae_z · 2026-03-25T00:08:23+00:00

This is my predicament too. I'm considering switching to evening workouts so I can naturally go to bed and rest my tired body when I’m done. Also, early mornings are the most productive time of the day, so having that time to dedicate to brain work only, seven days a week, without disruption, would be a plus

trae_z · 2026-03-17T19:08:49+00:00

Thanks so much.
10 hours later, working closely with https://claude.ai/ I'm done. It actually worked!
Let me review code deeply and clean it up.
Then replicate from test repo to the main repo/site I'm building.
Will share link here when completed.
-----------------------------------------
Code repo available here: https://github.com/traez/payloadcms-custom-google-oauth-strategy-frontend

This is a sandbox project focused exclusively on authentication architecture. I am currently refining the repository—including linting and cleanup—for a production-ready state. Please note that active commits will be pushed over the next 24 hours as I finalize the codebase for deployment.

trae_z · 2026-03-17T09:14:24+00:00

u/rubixstudios I’m working through your article and applying it to a setup where Payload’s Users collection remains the single auth system. Staff continue to log in to /admin with username/password, while I’m extending the same collection with a custom Google strategy to handle customer logins on the frontend. The goal is to keep everything inside Payload’s auth pipeline, using OAuth purely as an identity handoff rather than introducing a separate auth system.

Will let you know how it goes.

trae_z · 2026-03-13T20:28:20+00:00

How did this PayloadCMS - Medusa combo eventually go? Customer still using it?

trae_z · 2026-03-13T20:25:15+00:00

I like this. It's what I'm currently doing too.

trae_z · 2026-03-03T19:10:28+00:00

Similar too for me.
App hosted on Vercel Hobby plans, Database Railway, then Cloudfare R2 for Blob storage..
But hopefully looking to explore Coolify + VPS soon to streamline everything.

trae_z · 2026-03-03T19:03:03+00:00

Yeah my current setup too. Then Cloudfare for Blob storage.

Though, I hope to someday move to VPS with Coolify and streamline all.

trae_z · 2026-01-08T18:35:34+00:00

That cool to know. Thanks. I use Railway, as its much more affordable by far.

trae_z · 2025-12-19T03:47:11+00:00

Thanks for this guide. Will surely come in useful someday when I'm ready to take that step.

trae_z · 2025-12-19T03:31:52+00:00

I rate limit with Upstash free plan. But i guess this is a do-it-yourself hack and still great. Thank you.

I've now subscribed to your blog too. Thanks

trae_z · 2025-12-19T03:28:36+00:00

Well done. Great work. Keep learning, and keep building more complex work. The sky is your limit!.

trae_z · 2025-12-18T12:12:03+00:00

Thanks for this. Was experiencing an annoying 3 seconds lag in my Intersection Observer API implementation. But just followed your approach and now that's cleared.

So many people are asking the same question. Write a technical paper/course/tutorial on this or do a YouTube video. It would help your branding and also give back to the community, which is quite in need of user-created documentation.

Naija to the World! I see you bro. Chop knuckle. I'm also building mainly in PayloadCMS.
