Their navigation is fuck all. Bootstraps is easy.
Bootstrap:
- Here's how you get started
- Here's the components and how to use them
- If you want a custom build, go here
Foundation:
- Getting started? "Sites Docs" which is in a menu under their "Docs"
menu
- Components? Included in the same menu under "Sites Docs" on the same page as getting started. The components are in the right hand menu.
- Custom build? Located in the "Resources" menu under "Develop"
Not at all intuitive. I still remember being frustrated at how I had to fumble around their site trying to find stuff.
> Bootstrap's takes me to a screen with 3 options, but also - and this is key - CDN links. Right there. I can paste a few lines in my HTML template and start working.
This has been available for Foundation for a few years already:
https://www.foundationcdn.com/ https://www.foundationcdn.com/
> I don't need to install node/npm/etc.
This is a biggie. I've been doing a lot more static site development and the JS frameworks now to create a decent website can been a huge PIA. There are a ton of them out there now - they're having the same issue JS frameworks are having, people are being fatigued by the amount of choices out there.
Compare that to MVC4 or 5 where I can get a Bootstrap template setup with views and controllers and create multiple templates in a matter of minutes, it's insane.
- mgkimsal 10y agoYou went further than I did with foundation. Tutorials takes me to a bunch of videos (ugh - no text to search?) http://foundation.zurb.com/learn/tutorials.html http://foundation.zurb.com/learn/tutorials.html The top 6 videos as I scroll down are all something to do with email/html/css ("unsubscribe" is the first title I see - WTF?) "what the zurb stack does part 2" is promising, followed immediately by 'what the zurb stack does part 1'. Not confidence inspiring.
