The OAuth developer view is great.

I will say that if you want to go ultra simple, Google still offers Firebase Auth for pretty much free. It doesn't mean you need to use GCP for all your services either. And it although it isn't perfect, you can't beat it for the price anywhere.

Thanks for the feedback.
I agree with that as I have used firebase social auth in some personal projects which is pretty easy to setup. Though I feel, with so many frameworks and libraries out there the level of abstraction has increased significantly and at times some of us get lost in setting things up from scratch and knowing how the thing actually works under the hood.
I just shared the minimal barebone of setting things up with Node, and even passport could have been avoided here to keep it more basic.
