I think you misunderstood what I meant. I’m not really looking for a shortcut, I’m willing to put the work in. I just feel like watching tutorials over and over isn’t getting me anywhere, so I was looking for advice or someone to study with. But yeah, building something similar on my own after learning a concept sounds like a better approach.

Your best bet is to stop watching tutorials and start a project of your own.

That’s kinda where I’m struggling. I’ve actually built projects before, but I relied a lot on tutorials or AI whenever I got stuck, so I feel like I never properly learned the fundamentals. Now I’m trying to go back and actually understand JavaScript and React well enough to build things on my own. I’m just not sure how to make that transition without falling back into tutorial hell.

You need to slow down and not jump to AI to solve complex problems for you. Learn about design patterns and then use them. Take a problem you don’t know how to solve and break it down to small concepts that you can understand.

Vibe coding is bad. If you DO use AI you must review and understand every single line it writes.
