Foundation for Apps vs Material Design for Angular: What are the differences?
Developers describe Foundation for Apps as "Angular-powered framework for building powerful responsive web apps, from your friends at ZURB". Foundation for Apps is a framework you can use to build better, more polished single-page web applications that work across many devices. We’ve taken what we’ve learned from building the original Foundation framework to build an entirely new framework just for web apps. On the other hand, Material Design for Angular is detailed as "Material Design for AngularJS Apps". Material Design is a specification for a unified system of visual, motion, and interaction design that adapts across different devices. Our goal is to deliver a lean, lightweight set of AngularJS-native UI elements that implement the material design system for use in Angular SPAs.
Foundation for Apps and Material Design for Angular can be primarily classified as "Front-End Frameworks" tools.
Foundation for Apps and Material Design for Angular are both open source tools. It seems that Material Design for Angular with 16.5K GitHub stars and 3.57K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Foundation for Apps with 1.65K GitHub stars and 236 GitHub forks.
