Just think about how easy it has become to build a web application. Think about all the frameworks and tools you have available to get started. When you’re building for the web, someone has already done the hard work. Mostly, it is about finding the right parts and putting them together. However, this abundance of tools and frameworks is lacking when it comes to internal applications.

Flakes is a front-end framework that helps businesses build better internal software. I very rarely come across internal applications that have been well designed and developed. Usually, time constraints and business priorities get in the way. The user experience is almost always an afterthought. Mobile readiness non-existent. And an aesthetic that is as old as the internet itself.
