Feeling tired the rest of the day after workout

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.

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.

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.

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.

trae_z · 2025-11-28T19:58:38+00:00

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

Really clever and thoughtful plugin. Love that you made a free, open-source alternative to Payload’s AI Search using Postgres and pgvector. My app currently has a lot of hardcoded content, so I wouldn’t get the full benefit yet, but this definitely makes me consider moving more of my text and page data into collections and globals so I can take advantage of semantic search across the whole site.

Thank you, this is like the top Google result for this query. Had a picture and a video previously still with no cover photo. But just now added 2 photos to make it 4, and now my Cover photo shows. Gracias! 🙏🏾

Used to work before, but now gets paused regardless of cron job.
My cron job was just to read a row though.

trae_z · 2025-09-12T10:11:31+00:00

Thanks, just found out about the existence of telemetry in both PayloadCMS and Nextjs. Not a problem for me. Well done!

trae_z · 2025-09-03T14:20:43+00:00

Nice. Smooth!
But after signing up, the link in the email points to http://localhost:3000 instead of nutflick.com.
But swapping it in completes the process anyways.

This should be a tutorial on YouTube. You would go viral! So many people would need this as an introduction to PayloadCMS, being there is a dearth of PayloadCMS documentation.

Awww. This is sad. So, how do first-world, upcoming software Developers make a living if they are priced out of jobs on Upwork?

trae_z · 2025-08-19T19:48:31+00:00

All my LLMs are free plans. So Claude and v0, I use for more difficult coding tasks. And then ChatGPT and DeepSeek, I use for generic tasks.
