I like text-based editing but found plantuml lacking in this regard, so I created my own thing. It's basically a html/css template engine with a library of (hand-drawn-ish) components. You can use it as a VSCode extension ('WireText'), featuring a live preview.

A (non-text-based) alternative I kind of like is Quant-UX: https://quant-ux.com/

Your solution is awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Love the indentation based DSL - this looks very intuitive.

I do a lot of quick sketches with excalidraw but I easily see wiretext-code replacing that with a better workflow where I can extract out components and prototype by composing those instead of copy pasting around.
