Vertical alignment for columns

Problem

As a user, I’d like to have the ability to vertically align within a container. While vertical alignment is not a problem in single columns, if there are 2 columns side by side then not having vertical alignment makes the contents look off.

Code to repro

import streamlit as st

col1, col2 = st.beta_columns(2)

with col1:
    st.title('Streamlit Template: Big Chart!')

with col2:
    st.write('Explainer text about something. Lorem ipsum')

---

Adding padding artificially somewhat mitigates the issue but it is not a perfect solution either

import streamlit as st

col1, col2 = st.beta_columns(2)

with col1:
    st.title('Streamlit Template: Big Chart!')

with col2:
    st.write('')
    st.write('')
    st.write('')
    st.write('Explainer text about something. Lorem ipsum')

Hey all! We’ll be working on layout options this summer and we definitely want to improve support for alignment. Don’t know yet in detail how it will work, but we are all very aware of the pain to align things inside of columns! 😉
