  The Pencil Project's unique mission is to build a free and opensource tool for making diagrams and GUI prototyping that everyone can use.

  

I wouldn't use text to illustrate a GUI. We use Pencil with the crayon-styled stencils to make quick mockups. The crayon styling makes it clear that they're just mockups so people don't poke at the style aspects of the design. We've gotten great feedback from our clients that these are effective illustrations too.

  Storybook is a frontend workshop for building UI components and pages in isolation. Made for UI development, testing, and documentation.

  

I've seen Storybook possibly fill this niche, but it's tight to web developers.
