Sketch and zurb foundation or bootstrap

Hi today I discovered Sketch, the OS X app for design, well, Im a backend guy however I want to learn more of web design and front end stuff, so I wonder how sketch play in this world. For example:

I always use a front end framework like Zurb Foundation or Bootstrap in my developments, for the grids, and prebuilt styles and functionalities like the reveals... However Im not sure if Sketch can play along with these front end frameworks or it just replace them.

Well my real question is, Does Sketch replaces the front-end frameworks? or it works along with them?

Thanks!

Sketch works great with both of those frameworks. Both Bootstrap and Foundation are based off of column systems, and starter design elements/objects, so really any design program capable of creating guides will work. If you look around online you'll find all sorts of templates that you can use with Foundation and Bootstrap.

So to answer your question Sketch works alongside those frameworks, it is just a design tool.
