Was just reading the blog and it mentions live reloading: https://blog.qt.io/blog/2019/02/18/scaling-large-ui-development-projects-managing-complexities-reference-ui-neptune-3/
This Neptune3 thing, is that something we can use on the phones?

I've not come across any myself, and have only built a few small things with it a bit for now.
Initial reactions was that it is *leagues* ahead of Qt with regards to developer experience. You're not locked to an IDE, like with QtCreator, and the ui live updates across device, simulators, emulators etc. when you write changes. No need to build and .apk and wait for a build+deploy.
There's no JS involved. It's Dart all the way. It doesn't even ship with a web runtime afaik.
Achitecturally it's similar to Qt, in that they've build a custom renderer on top of Skia, so the whole scene is basically just OpenGL, which makes it really fast.
Component wise, their UI library offers bother Cupertino and Material design out of the box, and from initial impressions, looks to be closer to the original design guidelines than Qt Quick Controls for. e.g. Material.
I haven't tried it out myself yet, but you should be able to reach into native world by using platform channels:
https://flutter.io/docs/development/platform-integration/platform-channels
It's seems like it's quite a ways worse than with Qt though, so there's at least that.

Are there any good Qt vs Google Flutter comparisons?
I took a brief look, it looked like a declarative JS framework. Usually the difference with between Qt and the competition is Qt abstracts there platform libraries (i.e. Gstreamer vs avfoundation vs directshow)
