Overview

Master the utility-first approach of Tailwind CSS by building a project step-by-step. In this beginner-friendly guide, we walk through setting up Tailwind with React using Vite, crafting components using utility classes, and progressively introducing customizations like custom colors, fonts, spacing, @apply mixins, and even a light/dark theme toggle — all using the new Tailwind v4 features. Perfect for developers looking to understand Tailwind deeply by building something practical.
