Tailwind Mastery from Build UI teaches Tailwind CSS the way most developers actually end up using it: by rebuilding a real, recognizable interface from scratch.

The Project: A Discord Clone

Instead of isolated exercises, the whole course centers on matching Discord's interface — its spacing, colors, and typography — pixel for pixel, using nothing but Tailwind's utility classes.

What You'll Practice

  • Building a multi-panel layout with Flexbox
  • Advanced hover states, transitions, and transforms
  • Adjusting layouts at responsive breakpoints
  • Customizing Tailwind's design tokens and pairing it with React or Vue

Across 21 lessons, the focus stays on Tailwind as a way to style directly inside your components — no separate stylesheets, no new tooling to learn first.

Who teaches Tailwind Mastery? Build UI

Build UI thumbnail

Build UI is the paid screencast platform of Sam Selikoff and Ryan Toronto, both former Frontside / EmberConf instructors and now full-time independent React educators. The platform's signature is short, focused screencasts on specific React and Next.js patterns rather than multi-hour course bundles.

The CourseFlix listing carries six Build UI courses spanning React data fetching, server components, Next.js App Router patterns, and the practical side of building modern React applications. Material is paid and aimed at intermediate React developers who already know the basics and want depth on the patterns that show up in real production codebases.
