In 2023, what are the best wireframing UI / UX tools?

[BenjaminDyer]

Hi HN, question in the subject really.

I am a former UI guy that moved out into a management role years ago, however I am hopping back in to manage the user experience with a fairly large and widely used application. I've kept my hand in with products like Adobe XD and Figma, however I'm curious to know what HN considers the go to tools are these days?

I have a fairly large job on my hands, the application has grown a little wild over the years, so need to bring it all into order.

Appreciate any advice you may have.

PenPot is a well funded open source alternative to Figma.

It became quite popular when Figma was bought out by Adobe as users weren't happy with the merger.

Otherwise Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop/XD, Figma, Sketch and Axure are still the top dogs for Web/Mobile design

Ah super. thank you for your reply. We have the Adobe creative suite here so I think I'll go on a crash refresh course. I'll also take a look at PenPot!
