Foundation for Apps vs Semantic UI: What are the differences?

What is Foundation for Apps? 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.

What is Semantic UI? A UI Component library implemented using a set of specifications designed around natural language. Semantic empowers designers and developers by creating a shared vocabulary for UI.

Foundation for Apps and Semantic UI can be primarily classified as "Front-End Frameworks" tools.

Some of the features offered by Foundation for Apps are:

  • Vertical Grid
  • Independent Scrolling Sections
  • Easier Source Ordering

On the other hand, Semantic UI provides the following key features:

  • Build Responsive Layouts Easier
  • Self Explanatory
  • Tag ambivalent

Foundation for Apps and Semantic UI are both open source tools. It seems that Semantic UI with 45.9K GitHub stars and 4.84K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Foundation for Apps with 1.65K GitHub stars and 236 GitHub forks.
