Tailwind Subgrid Cards with Perfectly Aligned Buttons

A template gallery where titles run to different lengths and descriptions to different depths — yet every badge, title, body and button sits on a shared line, because each card adopts the parent's row tracks. Flexbox's mt-auto workaround retires here.

What changed in the port

Which parts became utilities, which stayed CSS, and why.

  • The middle card's deliberately long title is the proof: it raises the shared track and all three buttons stay level, which is impossible to demonstrate with equal-length placeholder copy.
  • row-span-4 plus one arbitrary property is the shortest expression of subgrid in any syntax.
  • Product upgrade: generic Starter/Studio/Agency cards became a workflow template gallery with categories and a 'most used' card, so the alignment problem is the one a real gallery has.

How this works

Every card shares the parent's rows. A two-line title in one card raises the title track for all of them, and every button lands on the final track. Nested independent grids cannot do this; flexbox only pins the last element.

The span must match the child count. Four children, row-span-4. Add a fifth element to one card and that card's tracks step out of line with its siblings — the rigidity you accept in exchange for the alignment.

Make it yours

  • Add a thumbnail row by raising the span AND adding one element to every card.
  • Clamp rambling descriptions with line-clamp-3 so one card cannot stretch the shared track.
  • Columns can subgrid too: [grid-template-columns:subgrid] for icon + text alignment.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • A forgotten element shifts every later track for that card only — the failure is per-card and easy to miss.
  • You cannot resize one card's title track locally; the tracks belong to the parent.
  • Test the @supports fallback — it is the only part you cannot see in a modern browser.
