Thanks a lot for the detailed and respectful answer.

Can you confirm if Qt Quick integration is in the works?
In the works, yeah kind of. The only thing I can show you right now is screenshots of discussions we had in the community Zulip:

After this I did initial testing with Qt Design Studio, and told them it might be too advanced for me without any developer experience. This was discussed further with them and they told me I will have to try it, unless I can get a dedicated programmer to work on it. This is because most programmers in the project are working on the Java Android build and the swift iOS builds, while we haven't got anyone yet who volunteered to work on the Qt builds, which are for desktop (both Linux and Windows) and mobile Linux.
That is to say, if you are reading this and feel like this is up your alley, join the Zulip : )
I have followed over 5 Qt Academy tutorials on Qt Design Studio so I at least got the hang of the basics now. I can import SVGs, group them into parent rectangles and anchor them, but button states (hovered, clicked, etc) are still a bit too hard for me at the moment. And I don't know how to make the app respond to me resizing the window in runtime, which is a core thing I want to test my (mobile-desktop) responsive designs with. Or maybe I should do that in editor-time instead?
Should I try looking at the QML-focused Qt Academy tutorials to solve these problems?

I'm happy to help answer questions about using QML or Qt Widgets, but I'm not in a position to contribute code directly to the plugin. Others might.
Okay I was wondering, could you give any tips for me (a slight beginner) how I would go about slowly converting the Qt Widgets UI to Qt Quick (as Dobridabar from the screenshot suggested a gradual migration)? Might it be possible to involve Qt Design Studio with the Qt Widgets code?
In the less desirable scenario, I have to use Figma to make my designs, add button states, overlays, and then give the Qt export files to the dedicated developer, who only has to integrate the technical functionalities of the maps app (which is already done for a big portion). It would certainly go against my ideals, but it would at least be a pragmatic solution to the problem.
