I am also playing around with the card element (or is it called a component now? In general I am really satisfied how it works, but some things are missing. So here are some comments.

- There is no possibility to “equalise” the cards they are always as long as the content

- There is no possibility to set a border.
- Currently no hover animations are possible. Guess this is coming later
- In the Buttons I cannot place an icon. Guess this is also coming later. Do you already know which icon library you will use - Font Awesome?

If you place the cards in a grid you can equalize them easily.

As @handshaper mentioned, you can do this using the grid. On the Card Component, switch the Height in Layout of the card to “Full”.

You’re right, nice catch. We’ll try and get that added for the next beta!

Yes… sooner, rather than later 😉

That is certainly something we want to do, but that’ll come a little later in the beta cycle.  
If you really want something now, you can do it with a custom component. I just asked chatGPT for a Tailwind download button and it gave me the code…
