Stacks and Foundry

Why do we need Foundry and Stacks? Seems like they do pretty much the same things.

They don’t do the same things. But … to use Foundry then you need to have stacks installed first.

You can use Stacks only, but then you’ll be much more limited in your design options. That’s just fine for some folks. So you don’t “need” Foundry. But if you want to add greater flexibility and power to your designs then Foundry is a fantastic tool to have.

Thanks. Can you offer some examples of the extras Foundry would add? Is there a list of them somewhere?

Sure. Here’s a link to the basic documentation:

There’s tons of information there including lots of videos. The documentation tab shows as the stacks that come with Foundry. Hope this helps.
