Penpot is really amazing https://penpot.app
Similar to Sketch or Figma but Open Source https://github.com/penpot/penpot Have a try if you haven't! I wish one day I could replace my Figma workflows

Pencil is OK, but fiddly to use, lacking in stencils, and basically unmaintained. Figma is a really powerful tool, but is too expensive unless you're a full-time UI/UX person (in which case, it's actually a good deal).
It's so great to have a powerful OSS prototyping tool - and one that looks like it's had thought put into it's own UI/UX. Can't wait to try this out and see if it meets my expectations, thanks so much for posting this!
- Someone come up with what something should do when X
- Designers create the UX and UI to support that feature
- Developers start reviewing the UX/UI, create a list of things designers/product managers forgot to think of when doing the design/product requirements
- Designers finishes the design
- Developers manually try to copy the design into code. How this happen depends a lot
In 90% of the companies, this is how I've seen it being done. Some places are trying to make that last step automatic nowadays, but the progress and results are nowhere near production-ready yet.
Let me know if you have more specific questions :)
