It could also be a tool for making higher fidelity "paper prototypes", although that can backfire on you. When doing paper prototyping, it actually helps you get better user feedback if you have rough sketches that don't look too polished.
However, after the paper prototyping phase, this Lucid Spec tool could be quite useful for showing the developers what to develop and how it should work.
Resources on paper prototyping:
- See Jakob Nielsen’s articles on Usability Misconceptions and Paper Prototyping.
- A List Apart also has an article on paper prototyping.

Thanks for your kind words about Lucid Spec. We're always interested in feedback and ideas for improving the product.
I agree that paper prototyping is the best place to start. We've thought about adding a "low-resolution" mode that strips out colors, fonts, etc. How useful would this be?

Well that would be the cat's meow!
