Foundation for Apps is a CSS/JavaScript front-end framework from ZURB for building responsive single-page web apps, built on Angular, Flexbox, and Sass. It has been officially deprecated and moved to ZURB's experimental playground in favor of Foundation for Sites.

Use cases

  • build a responsive single-page web app with angular
  • create a flexbox-based app layout grid
  • prototype a responsive email or chat app ui
  • scaffold a web app project with gulp and sass
  • build a web app layout that adapts to mobile and desktop

When to choose

  • maintaining a legacy project already built on Foundation for Apps
  • studying an early example of flexbox-based app grids and Angular 1.x frameworks

When to avoid

  • starting any new project, since it is deprecated and unmaintained
  • you need modern Angular, security updates, or community support
  • building websites rather than apps, where Foundation for Sites is the successor
