I am the author of this framework. Vital was built from the need for a truly mobile optimized CSS framework. If there are any questions regarding this framework feel free to ask. Hope you find this framework useful for your projects.

Interesting, as much as I don't think we need yet another CSS framework you bring up some good points about maintaining and expanding on something like Bootstrap. Are there plans to release a GEM and/or NPM package?

A ruby gem and NPM package is in the works. Almost ready for release.

Interesting, do you have any examples of sites built with Vital?

The Vital site: http://doximity.github.io/vital/, Doximity blog: https://engineering.doximity.com/, Doximity: https://www.doximity.com/ - Internally we have it deployed to about 10 different applications.

Are there any lightweight CSS frameworks with cards?

If you are referring to a layout that has a card UI like what Pinterest has, this can be built with almost any grid.

See the "Grid" section of Vital: http://doximity.github.io/vital/components/

It's just a matter of styling the elements within the grid. I'm working on adding some layout examples to Vital.
